Hi all, I know it probably is still a long road but want to know when should one change from testing to stable so that one is living in squeeze and not go into wheezy.
I use the codenames (lenny, squeeze, etc) in sources.list. This way it doesn't matter when they declare squeeze to be stable. If you use 'testing' then you could sail right on past squeeze if you didn't change it at just the right time.
If I want the system up dist-upgrade to a later version I have to explicitely edit sources.list, which is just fine.
