Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” has been released

Now that Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” has been released, I’m glad to announce that it’s supported by Dotdeb. Feel free to change your sources.list and to upgrade your boxes.

About Wheezy & Dotdeb

Wheezy is supported as of today and these packages will be maintained :

  • PHP : 5.4 and 5.5 (as soon as it’s GA)
  • MySQL : 5.6 or equivalent (Percona Server, MariaDB…)
  • Nginx
  • Redis
  • Zabbix
  • Percona toolkit

(PHP 5.4, Zabbix and Percona toolkit packages are missing now, they will appear in the next few days)

That means that the support for these packages will be discontinued in Wheezy :

  • MySQL 5.5. The Debian project will be in charge of the 5.5 branch. Transition is seamless.
  • PHP 5.3 (you’ll have to stick to Squeeze)

About Squeeze & Dotdeb

Squeeze will be supported by Dotdeb as long as it is supported by Debian (one year), with the current lineup :

  • PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.3 (as long as it’s supported by the PHP Group). No PHP 5.5.
  • MySQL 5.5. No MySQL 5.6 or equivalent.
  • Nginx stable
  • Redis
  • Zabbix
  • Percona toolkit
