Debian Long Term Support

Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project to extend the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years. Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian Security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success.

Thus the Debian LTS team takes over security maintenance of the various releases once the Debian Security team stops its work.

For more information see LTS/Buster, LTS/Using and LTS/FAQ.

LTS schedule (last updated: November 28, 2023)

Companies using Debian who benefit from this project are encouraged to either help directly or contribute financially. The number of properly supported packages depends directly on the level of support that the LTS team receives.

All Debian LTS security advisories (DLAs) are published at https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ where you can also subscribe via RSS feed.

Extended Long Term Support is also available. Please refer to Extended LTS for further information.
