This is intended to be a sources list for a lab, learning, and testing machine for
Debian 12 Bookworm
.
It should include all possible repositories from official Debian servers only.
The entries are categorized, each with a description, and listed as separate single entries, not combined like:
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
So that each component can be individually commented out if needed.
Have I missed anything and an this list be further expanded or improved?
