Bug#782914: Limit support for mediawiki
Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Hi,
here's a last minute addition to the release notes; mediawiki wasn't
updated in jessie and the current 1.19 release series will be EOLed
next month.
The backported 1.19 fixes for wheezy-security can be reused for
jessie, so limit the support in jessie until the end of standard
wheezy support (April 2016).
The proper way to address this would have been the removal from
jessie, but mediawiki has rdeps which we cannot address at this point
of the freeze.
This will be complemented with an update for debian-security-support
released through jessie-security.
Cheers,
Moritz
