valid backports - current list

[Benchrest]

I have been testing with Ubuntu near a month and overall its going great! But I am a little confused about backports. I have the following entries I got from the Unofficial Ubuntu 5.04 Starter Guide:

## Backports
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted

But reading stickies and other entries about current deb entries for backports I get the impression these maynot be the most current or only backport deb entries I should be using.

It would be nice if there was a sticky listing ALL the current valid backport entries that could be cut and pasted into sources.list. Even a description of each entry and what its for would be nice, all in one entry.

If this is not possible because I don't understand something I would appreciate advice on that too.

Thanks,
Rich

Thanks for the list. I've made the update and received 32 new packages. I need to review the meaning of the universe multiverse etc. I know where it is and have read it but need to read it again. I'm dangerous now cause I think I'm starting to get the hang of this. :grin:

Please! remove the marillat repositories people! they can cause a LOT of problems with ubuntu, espescially because things are going to be binary incompatible very VERY soon
