Understood.
So the (updated) plan is:
1. send the announcement (today, Markus)
2. ensure the infrastructure team is ready for the new LTS (they are?)
3. contact the FTP team to give LTS users 4 weeks grace period (need to
be contacted)
4. contact the rel team to coordinate the last jessie release (wait +
send an email if we don't have progress in june/july?)
5. update wiki pages
6. update the security tracker on when jessie becomes EOL (carnil)
I guess it might be a little early to reach out to infra/FTP/rel teams
at this point, since the rotation stuff will more likely happen in june
or july.
Also: thanks everyone for your answers, I'm really glad every answered
so quickly. We seem to have most of dla-needed.txt covered but
(naturally) those which are unassigned:
--
git
--
liblouis
--
linux
Someone on IRC suggested we just no-dsa liblouis, but I suggested we
keep it because it's a small patch and we already did a similar one in
wheezy.
It seems to me git should also be patched considering the severity, but
I haven't looked at how complex the patch is.
I am not sure where we stand WRT Linux in wheezy - I guess we can just
punt that over to ELTS just like everything else in wheezy at this
stage.
