Evolution of the situation
June was the last month of Jessie LTS which ended on 2020-06-20. If you still need to run
Jessie somewhere, please read the
post
about keeping Debian 8 Jessie alive for longer than 5 years.
So, as (Jessie) LTS is dead, long live the new LTS, Stretch LTS! Stretch has received its
last point release, so regular
LTS operations can now continue.
Accompanying this, for the first time, we have prepared a small
survey about our users
and contributors, who they are and why they are using LTS. Filling out the survey should take
less than 10 minutes. We would really appreciate if you could participate in the
survey online!
On July 27th 2020 we will close the survey, so please don’t hesitate and participate now! After that, there will be a followup with the results.
The security tracker for Stretch LTS currently lists 29 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 44 packages needing an update in Stretch LTS.
