Squeeze is now stable

So squeeze is now stable. Together with the new Debian stable release the guys also updated the website.

I have created a small bash script to perform the upgrade. Here it is.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Moving to /etc/apt"
cd /etc/apt
echo "Backing up sources.list"
cp sources.list sources.list.`date +%F`
echo "Changing the sources for squeeze"
sed 's/lenny/squeeze/g' sources.list > squeeze.sources.list
echo "Copying squeeze to sources.list"
cp squeeze.sources.list sources.list
echo "Performing the upgrade."
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Run the script as root or use sudo when executing.

Resulting file should be something like the following.

## main & security repositories
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
