6.06 LTS support

[Stephen_at]

How much active support is there on 6.06?

PHP5 on 6.06 is on 5.1.2 which dates from 12 Jan 2006

The current release of PHP5 is 5.2.8

Is there likely to be any upgrading of the PHP repositories for 6.06LTS or do I have to basically do a complete manual upgrade directly from source?

I have heard of people using the packages from Edgy but I'm a bit wary of doing this.

Or can I just do

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install update-manager-core
do-release-upgrade

and hope that it doesn't break anything?

apologies for uprooting a year old post but i'm looking to update my Dapper LTS server to Hardy LTS server because of the php5 fiasco (php5.2 needed for upgraded software but Dapper only has 5.12)

I have heard of people using the packages from Edgy but I'm a bit wary of doing this.

Or can I just do

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install update-manager-core
do-release-upgrade

and hope that it doesn't break anything?

what ever became of this?
