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 will not be handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success (with some overlap in people involved).

Thus the Debian LTS team takes over security maintenance of the various releases once the Debian Security team stops its work. The team will thus handle:

  • Debian 6 “Squeeze” until 29th of February 2016
  • Debian 7 “Wheezy” from 26th of April 2016 to 31st of May 2018
    • The LTS team will assist the security team until the official start of Wheezy LTS.
  • Debian 8 “Jessie” from May 2018 to end of April/May 2020

Companies using Debian who are benefitting from this project are encouraged to either help directly or contribute financially. The amount of packages which are properly supported depends directly on the level of support that we get.
