Evolution of the situation
July was our first month of Stretch LTS! Given this is our fourth LTS release
we anticipated a smooth transition and it seems everything indeed went very well.
Many thanks to the members of the Debian ftpmaster-, security, release- and publicity-
teams who helped us make this happen!
Stretch LTS begun on July 18th 2020 after the
13th and final Stretch point release. and is currently scheduled to end on
June 30th 2022.
Last month, we asked you to participate in a survey and we got 1764 submissions, which is pretty awesome. Thank you very much for participating!. Right now we are still busy crunching the results, but we already shared some early analysis during the Debconf LTS bof this week.
The security tracker currently lists 54 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 52 packages needing an update.
