Following the PiwikServer#Updates notes

vi /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/piwik/config/config.ini.php
cd /web/stats.transitionnetwork.org/
cp piwik/config/config.ini.php .
export PIWIK="2.16.0"
wget "https://builds.piwik.org/piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz"
wget "https://builds.piwik.org/piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz.asc"
gpg --verify piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz.asc
tar -zxvf piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz
cp config.ini.php piwik/config/

Check the ​settings and there is this message:

Warning

Piwik will stop supporting PHP 5.4 in the next major version. Upgrade your PHP to at least PHP 5.5, before it's too late! The PHP version 5.4 you are using has reached its End of Life (EOL). You are strongly urged to upgrade to a current version, as using this version may expose you to security vulnerabilities and bugs that have been fixed in more recent versions of PHP.

The version we have is the ​default Debian 7.9, Wheezy one:

php -v
PHP 5.4.45-0+deb7u2 (cli) (built: Oct 17 2015 08:26:31) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies

cat /etc/debian_version 
7.9

So perhaps it is worth considering re-visiting ticket:847 at some point? I'll post a comment there, closing this ticket as resolved.
