Working in a possible LTS for Debian Squeeze
The Debian Security Team announced in the
bits from their last meeting
that they’re considering to ask for the addition of a new suite to provide long
term support (LTS) for Squeeze.
Quoting their announcement:
-
It needs to be pointed out that for this effort to be sustainable
actual contributions by interested parties are required. squeeze-lts
is not something that will magically fall from the sky. If you’re
dependent/interested in extended security support you should make an
effort to contribute, either by contributing on your own or by
paying a Debian developer/consultant to contribute for you.
The security team itself is driving the effort, NOT doing it. Some team
members will contribute to it individually, however. -
Anyone interested in contributing, please get in touch with
team@security.debian.org. We’ll setup
an initial coordination list with all interested parties. All policies / exact
work will be sorted out there.
This means this is still not something settled and if you or your company is
insterested in joining this effort, you should contact the security team
ASAP. So they can see if there is enough people and resources to launch the LTS.
