Hi, FreeBSD's release schedule is: 10.3 2016-03-22 11.0 2016-07-27 whereas the timeline for Debian stretch is: 2016-09-05: Transition freeze 2016-11-05: "Softfreeze" 2016-12-05: The freeze That means kfreebsd-11 should be released in time, however, the usual pattern is that only odd-numbered minor versions have extended security support. My guess is that these kernels could become EOL by: 10.3 2018-04 10-STABLE >= 2018-04? 11.0 2017-08 whereas Debian stretch should try to have security support until about 2020-04. We would need to backport fixes to these kernels from the corresponding STABLE branch after it is EOL; that has been easy in the past. It looks better to release 10.3 with stretch if its upstream security support will be longer. kfreebsd-11 will anyway be packaged in experimental. 11.1 can go into sid/buster whenever it is released. 10.3 should also be less work, as that would be a much smaller transition in userland. Please let me know if 10.3 seems reasonable for stretch, or if there's some really compelling reason to release with 11.0. Thanks, Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain steven@pyro.eu.org
