This is the repository of the Debian testing, wheezy. It is still in the testing branch and will be stable by end of 2012. I have installed that recently. ################################################################################## deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-proposed-updates main contrib non-free #deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security Wheezy/updates main deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free ##################################################################################
The procedure:
Basically I have changed the source file (/etc/apt/sources.list), then run apt-get update, and then apt-get dist-upgrade. It updated the list, and downloaded all the new packages. After that, the old packages were removed and started to install the new ones.
Problems: Since I have Debian on a MacBookPro, there are basically two issues that I had to solve manually. They are related to NVidia graphics card and Broadcom wireless card. I have installed them using the module-assistant as explained here. At some point during upgrade, it crashed complaining a dependency conflict (libgstreamer, if I remember correctly). I removed some packages using dpkg -r to solve the problem. Then, the upgrade was completed and I got a message about errors during the upgrade. It was basically Nvidia problem, as I expected. I following the instruction and run the module assistant.
That was it. Now, it runs Debian 7 (Wheezy), with an updated kernel (3.1). As far as I have experienced the system so far, it is rather stable.
