Where do I download wheezy?
Where do I download wheezy? Thank you for the URL.
Re: Where do I download wheezy?
Wheezy is depreciated. It has even been removed from the download page.
You should be using Jessie now. https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

These answers stick around longer in search engines' memory than just the OP's query.
I can't see any reason for running Wheezy either, but people keep asking.

napajedlaci.cz never really needed wheezy for any particular reason.
Else he would have been back here in that last few months.

Re: Where do I download wheezy?
My reason to still use wheezy is that streaming camera works easier than in jessie.

Re: Where do I download wheezy?
Another reason to use Wheezy is that it doesn't use systemd(emonic). Also, the version of Nautilus is very much better than the one in Jessie.
The most important leg of a three legged stool is the one that's missing.
It's called thinking. Why don't you try it sometime?

Re: Where do I download wheezy?
Jednorozec,
I hear a lot of criticism of systemd. I have not looked into it enough to know how much of that is warranted. I however my experience with it on the desktop and the Pi has been as follows.
In general use one does not even know it's there. Seems to et everything working fine just like SysV Init did.
When do actually want get something running as a service at boot time a systemd .service file is short and sweet and sytemctl makes enable/disable, start/stop very easy. A lot nicer than hacking scripts.
Example: My propanel.service

Re: Where do I download wheezy?
The issue with Wheezy is it does not natively boot on a RPi 3B or Zero, so you need an older RPi to update Wheezy first.Jednorozec wrote:Another reason to use Wheezy is that it doesn't use systemd(emonic). Also, the version of Nautilus is very much better than the one in Jessie.
If SystemD is a perceived issue, then there is always Slackware.....

I was able to get it to work by adding :demux=h264 as explained in
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=146597
But it still is not as reliable as with wheezy (where it has not yet ever failed).
Re: Where do I download wheezy?
There is a common problem mentioned several times in the forums that rc.local is not working with systemd as it used to work in wheezy. There is no quarantee that rc.local runs when the system is really up. I have had to add sleeps into rc.local so that my code works normally. Not a big deal, but nasty when you face it first time (and it slows down the jessie boot making it slower than wheezy)Heater wrote:Jednorozec,

Re: Where do I download wheezy?
shuckle,
one is aware that it might.
However one should not be using rc.local anyway it has been depreciated in Debian for a decade and a half. The recommended way is copy /etc/init.d/Skeleton to a new init script for whatever you want to happen while changing runlevels, then use insserv to enable it.
See article here:
http://bencane.com/2011/12/30/when-its- ... -rc-local/
And Debian docs here:
https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/ ... yBasedBoot

Heater,
I do not think it is obsolete:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=124740
And it sure is simpler that building a real startup script.

Re: Where do I download wheezy?
No, not "obsolete", "deprecated".
It is provided for the use of the system administrator and compatibility reasons. As it says in the forum you linked to.
That implies to me that it is not the recommended thing to use.
