I did this with all php and libjs packages and now I only have these remaining at wheezy-backports: mondschein:~> apt-show-versions | grep backport | cut -d"/" -f1 btrfs-tools fonts-font-awesome fonts-wqy-microhei initramfs-tools linux-compiler-gcc-4.6-x86 open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-dkms openntpd So seems I am set for now as long as I ignore this systemd related packages apt-get wants to install maybe due to them being set as essential, I did not yet verify this. > So while I see that testing above wheezy-backports eases upgrade of owncloud > with all its dependencies at least on my system it would also upgrade all > other wheezy-backport packages to testing as well which is not what I want. Heck, maybe I just upgrade the box completely to Jessie in one of the next weeks. However, unless Owncloud upstream provides security updates for version 7 for a long enough time, in some way switching to a newer version of Owncloud during Jessie lifetime may as well be needed. But well, it could be handled similarily to iceweasel probably. Ciao, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7
