Breezy-backports in default sources.list

[John Dong]

I'd like to see official Breezy-backports lines commented out and present in
Breezy's default sources.list file, like Universe is. That way, users can enable
Backports by simply checking a checkbox :)

I've already cleared it by Matt on the ubuntu-backports list.

Thanks for your time,

John Dong, Ubuntu Backports Team Leader

Can you give me the officially-recommended sources.list lines, please? Thanks.

# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted
# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports universe multiverse

and equivalent deb-src lines.

These repositories don't exist yet, but will be there when Breezy Backports
launches, which would be when Breezy+1's development opens. A note about that
would be great, too.

Thanks for adding the Backports line, but we are missing lines for universe and
multiverse backports. In reality, most Backports fall into Universe and Multiverse.

Colin, please make sure this is fixed for final
