Hi,

I read the apt_preferences man page and it says that "To configure the
default release in the configuration file, use: APT::Default-Release
"stable";". While I have multiple distributions in sources.list
file(stable, testing, unstable, jessie-backports), then I don't have
the "Default-Release" configured:

# grep -R Default-Release /etc/apt/
#

What is the default "Default-Release"? How is this determined?


thanks,
Martin
