I am wondering how I do a Debian Release upgrade on my Pi? I know I can do an apt-get dist-upgrade but this is not a release upgrade.
The debian tool do-release-upgrade does not exist on my Pi's Wheezy image. So how do I do a release upgrade to the latest release of Debian for my Pi?
do-release-upgrade appears to be a Ubuntu command.
The Debian way is apt-get dist-upgrade

Not quite sure what you want to do.
Debian on the Pis is soft-float (rather than the hard float Raspbian).
I use soft-float.
My /etc/apt/sources.list contains
deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free
My /etc/os-release says:
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux jessie/sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
ID=debian
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"
HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.debian.org/support/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.debian.org/"
I just update using:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
