Hi all, I note that some Debian derivatives are based on Debian 6.0 (squeeze). The Debian LTS team has recently warned about[1] and then announced[2] the termination of support for Debian 6.0. This means that you will need to provide your own security support for your users or transition your distribution (and users) to a newer version of Debian such as 7 (wheezy) or 8 (jessie). Debian wheezy still receives normal security support until April and then LTS support until May 2018. If you have already switched to wheezy and stopped supporting squeeze-based releases, please update your census page to reflect that. Those of you who are or will be providing security updates for old Debian-based distributions might want to consider pooling your financial and engineering resources in order to provide longer term support for superseded Debian releases. Should your distribution or your distribution's sponsors be willing to help, please take a look at the documentation for Debian's long-term security support efforts[3]. Please direct any other questions you have to the derivatives list[4] or IRC channel[5]. We strongly encourage you to join both of these. 1. https://www.debian.org/News/2016/20160212 2. https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/56D57E60.6010607@debian.org 3. https://wiki.debian.org/LTS 4. https://lists.debian.org/debian-derivatives 5. ircs://irc.oftc.net/debian-derivatives -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
