Stamus Networks supports its own generic and standard Debian Wheezy 64 bit packaging repositories for

These repositories provide Debian package for the newest Suricata IDS/IPS , htp releases and newest long-term stable kernel level version. SELKS already includes those repositories under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/selks.list.

You can use as follows:

wget -O - -q http://packages.stamus-networks.com/packages.stamus-networks.com.gpg.key | apt-key add - && \
apt-get update

Then you can add the following :

deb http://packages.stamus-networks.com/debian/ wheezy main
deb http://packages.stamus-networks.com/debian-kernel/ wheezy main

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stamus.list for example.

The repositories contain packages for the long-term stable kernel level version. So if you would like to upgrade to the latest long-term supported kernel you can just do (on Debian):

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install linux-libc-dev linux-headers-3.14.19-stamus linux-image-3.14.19-stamus
