#4768 — ownCloud security support

Hi all,

Firstly, thank you, David, for your excellent work packaging ownCloud
and its dependencies. It allowed me a very easy setup for an installation
which has been really valuable so far. (I will need to think carefully
about future plans for this service.)

Given the recent removal of owncloud from Debian unstable[1] for
understandable reasons, there is an obvious question about what
support we can expect for owncloud in stable. According to the upstream
website[2] 7.x is no longer security-supported.

Perhaps the security team could comment on this and consider whether
end of support is appropriate?

Best wishes,
Dominic.

We can probably backport security issues for a while. It's hard to predict 
of course, if they have some kind of "we totally messed up the design and 
need to rewrite parts of owncloud to fix that vulnerability" (not totally 
unlikely given the history of owncloud...) vulnerability we might reach a
point where we'll need to EOL it.

It's certainly not something I expect to make it into a jessie LTS, though.

Cheers,
        Moritz
