Hi all,

I have a server at work that is hacked and customized to bits to keep a wiki going using mediawiki [1] software including node.js [1a] binaries.

It was a turneky [2] appliance based on Debian 6 or squeeze.  It's work very well these past 6 or 7 years.

It also runs a ruby on rails app clockingit.[3]

I've installed the anaconda python distribution [4] on it and that is running fine.  It was the only way to get python 3.4 running nicely with notebooks.

A thing I've been tinkering with lately is the latex circuit package circuitikz [5] for my making nice circuit diagrams and another bit of ipython magics [6] allows you to insert these into your ipython notebooks.

I know this keeps putting off the inevitable but I'd rather procrastinate further than rebuild the server.

It seems squeeze has experienced some sort of migration to an LTS release even though officially it's not longer supported.

The point is, I'd like to

sudo apt-get install texlive-science but say it will have problems

when I do sudo apt-get update

So is seems I need to update the squeeze sources to still access the old repos.

I'm nervous about upgrading because of all the customisations and don't wish to break things.

Any clues on how I have have my server still able to download old packages.

Cheers

Chris
