Dear debian-l10n-english folks, could you please do your magic review on the announcement below? Thanks already & cheers, Holger ----- Forwarded message from Markus Koschany <apo@debian.org> ----- Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 21:00:17 +0200 From: Markus Koschany <apo@debian.org> To: debian-lts@lists.debian.org, "team@security.debian.org" <team@security.debian.org> Subject: Announcing Wheezy LTS via debian-security-announce List-Id: <debian-lts.lists.debian.org> Hi security team, only one week to go and I thought it would be a good idea to draft an announcement for next Tuesday that should be send to debian-security-announce and debian-lts-announce. I suggest that we coordinate the content of the last / first security announcement for Wheezy / Wheezy LTS. Please find below my proposal with some ideas from [1]. [draft] Security support for Wheezy handed over to the LTS team ======================================================= As of today the standard security support for Wheezy came to an end, one year after the release of Debian 8.0 alias "Jessie" and nearly three years after the release of Debian 7.0 alias "Wheezy". The Debian Long Term Support Team (LTS) will take over security support now. Information for users ===================== Wheezy LTS will be supported from 26th of April 2016 to the 31st of May 2018. For Debian 7 "Wheezy" LTS there will be no requirement to add a separate wheezy-lts suite to your sources.list any more and your current setup will continue to work without further changes. For how to use Debian Long Term Support please read https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using Important information and changes regarding Wheezy LTS can be found at https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Wheezy Most notably OpenJDK 7 will be made the new Java default JRE/JDK on the 26th of June 2016 to ensure full security support until Wheezy LTS reaches its end-of-life. You should also subscribe to the announcement mailing list for security updates for Wheezy LTS: https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/ A few packages are not covered by the Wheezy LTS support. These can be detected by installing the debian-security-support package. If debian-security-support detects an unsupported package which is critical to you, please get in touch with debian-lts@lists.debian.org. Mailing lists ============= The whole coordination of the Debian LTS effort is handled through the debian-lts mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/ Please subscribe or follow us via GMANE (gmane.linux.debian.devel.lts) Aside from the debian-lts-announce list, there is also a list for following all uploads in Wheezy LTS: https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-changes/ Security Tracker ================ All information on the status of vulnerabilities (e.g. if the version in Wheezy LTS happens to be unaffected while Jessie is affected) will be tracked in the Debian Security Tracker: http://security-tracker.debian.org If you happen to spot an error in the data, please see https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/data/report [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2014/msg00119.html ----- End forwarded message -----
