http://unix.stackexchange.com – I shall briefly describe my issue: General situation: I need to port Qt project from MS Visual Studio 2010 to Linux (Debian) In VS 2010 I got Qt ver. 4.8.1 in Debian Qt 4.6.1 this difference prevents me from porting, as some features are not present in 4.6.1. In Debian I use stable Squeeze repository. My expirience with this OS and especially Linux == 0. Issue: As in the Squeeze repository, the highest availiable version of Qt is 4.6.1, I decided to use multiple repositories (wheezy) and get the needed package from wheezy. To add wheezy I did the following actions: Edited /etc/apt/sour (HowTos)

Recently Debian Linux version 7.0 ("Wheezy") released. This version shipped with many new features - improvements to multimedia support, improved security through hardening flags and the OpenStack suite and the Xen Cloud Platform to name a few. How do I upgrades from Debian Linux version 6.x.x (squeeze) to the latest version 7.0.0 wheezy using command line options?

Almost all the major Linux distributions are using LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. Today, it has been announced that Debian Squeeze too will get LibreOffice in the backports.LibreOffice has been available in Debian Wheezy and Debian Sid for a while now. But in the stable release, Debian Squeeze, it is not available.

The setup

I run a Debian Squeeze host that I use to build a multilanguage project (python, java, php...) and generate custom packages (debian and RPM) automatically (through jenkins)

The problem

The target distributions of those Debian packages are Etch, Lenny and Squeeze.

WheezyWith Linux 3.0 on its way, the Debian developers have decided to move the Debian Wheezy development from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.0.Debian Wheezy is the successor to Debian Squeeze, which was was released earlier this year. Currently it is in development and is available from Sid.As I have mentioned in the earlier article, Linux 3.0 brings no changes to the API or the ABI.

I want to use doxygen on my Debian Squeeze server, but I need the version from Debian Wheezy because this apparently contains the bugfix I need.

It's not in backports -- check packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze-backports&searchon=names&keywords=doxygen (I'm new here and wasn't allowed this as a proper link!)

I tried adding Wheezy to my sources.list file and running apt-get install

Statler + Wheezy 1 year 15 weeks ago

I have two computers: one running Debian Squeeze and the other running CrunchBang Statler. I'm thinking of moving to Wheezy on the Debian computer. I like having both of the computers on the same Debian base, so I was wondering if I could also upgrade my CrunchBang machine's repositories to use Wheezy.Has anyone tried this?Thanks.

I need to install a GEOS version >= 3.2.2, and doing so is beyond my current aptitude (pun intended).

The current Debian squeeze version is 3.2.0, which will not work for my purposes (using the rgeos package in R).

I've tried the following:

Installing the 3.3.3 package from the Debian wheezy repository via dpkg -i Installing several 3.2.2 packages from the Ubuntu repository.

All fail because
