Drop Debian Squeeze support

[Galen Charlton]

It's had a good run, but with the end of security updates for its LTS as of 29 February 2016, Debian Squeeze is no more: it has ceased to be, it is bereft of life, it rests in peace, in short, it is an ex-release!

Consequently, it's time to remove references to it from Evergreen and OpenSRF.

Evergreen stable and master
OpenSRF stable and master

A patch for OpenSRF is available at the tip of the user/gmcharlt/lp1559121_drop_squeeze branch in the working/OpenSRF repository:

A patch for Evergreen is available at the tip of the user/gmcharlt/lp1559121_drop_squeeze branch in the working/Evergreen repository:

I don't think we should remove support for a distro during a patch release cycle. That is a big change, IMHO.

This should be targeted at 2.next, and 2.next only, I think.

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

For OpenSRF, 2.5-alpha is fine with me.

If Squeeze were only mostly dead (i.e., unsupported but still
installable through official channels), not entirely dead, I might
agree, but it's entirely dead:

* you can no longer apt-get it from official APT repositories
* it's getting no security updates; for that matter, it's getting no
updates of any kind

Why should we "support" a distribution that is impossible to install
(in a conventional fashion)?

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

OK. I should pay more attention. ;)

You are right. We shouldn't.

Pushing this along first, goodbye Squeeze!
