Hello.
The YOLO command shown in the video is the following:
wget -q https://deb.fastforward.debian.net/debian-fastforward/project/install/yolo.sh -O - | /bin/sh -
I do not recommend using the YOLO script!
The reason is simple: it asks no questions and enables all Fast Forward repositories with packages immediately eligible for upgrades. In most cases, that is probably not what you want.
Instead, I recommend installing Debian Fast Forward manually from the following location:
https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-fastforward/
Download these three packages:
-
the main Debian Fast Forward package (*_all.deb)
-
the PGP keys package
-
the SSH keys package
Once downloaded, install them with:
sudo dpkg -i debian-fastforward*deb
During installation you will be presented with several repository choices:
-
trixie fastforward
-
trixie fastforward security
-
trixie fastforward updates
-
trixie fastforward test
-
trixie fastforward backports
-
trixie fastforward backports test
If you are new to Fast Forward, I strongly recommend selecting only:
- trixie fastforward backports
Avoid the test repositories unless you understand the risks, as they increase the chances of system instability or broken dependencies.
On the next screen, feel free to select all four options and confirm the mirror selection.
Later, you will be asked whether Fast Forward backports should automatically be preferred over normal Debian packages.
Choose:
- NO
This is important because it allows you to manually decide which packages should come from Fast Forward instead of upgrading everything automatically.
Finally, update the APT database and test the setup with Vim:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -t trixie-fastforward-backports vim
If everything worked correctly, you should now have the latest Vim version installed from Fast Forward backports.
Enjoy.
