what's the procedure to update in debian? the offical repo will be updated immediatly or what?
- danielhlockard 11y agoI'd imagine a security release will be cut as soon as a diff is available.
- currysausage 11y agoFrom my limited understanding, the update would be pushed through the security.debian.org repository ASAP, which should be configured by default. I wonder what the 0.9.8 EOL means for squeeze-lts. Does the Debian LTS team just backport all applicable 1.0.1 patches? Isn't this a little risky? They might not have an intimate understanding of the opaque codebase. What about Wheezy and Jessie after support for 1.0.1 ends on 31 December?
- wiredfool 11y agoThe EOL on squeeze-lts is next month -- listed as February 2016 on https://wiki.debian.org/LTS https://wiki.debian.org/LTS. It's unclear if that's the beginning or end of the month.
- hsivonen 11y agoThis is why long-term support is less cool than it might first appear.
- currysausage 11y agoDefinitely. But even without LTS, Jessie would be without upstream SSL patches starting 2017. Stretch might not even be released by then. And I wouldn't call the Debian release cycle unreasonably slow.
- markild 11y agoYou get problems like this, but with the amount of overlap in time the different versions provide, with regards to security updates, I'd say its far from unreasonable that one should be able to move over to the next version before stuff like this becomes a problem.
- jlgaddis 11y agoRemind me how long LTS gives you to upgrade to a new version. If you're waiting until the very end of LTS support to upgrade, you're doing it wrong anyways.
