Re: Question about jessie

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I have been wondering about the same question in the latest days and
here is some of the gathering.

The jessie-backports are deprecated since July 2018 as stated in this
message [1]. They are not part of the LTS, as stated in [2] in section
« Deprecation of LTS support for backports ». Thus, they are not
updated since July 2018. This has to be taken in consideration as no
security updates will be provided to theses packages. LTS is for the
vanilla Jessie.

The repository jessie-updates/ is of no use while in the LTS. All
changes has been merged in Jessie's point-release 8.11. But mind you,
I personally didn't understood well the meaning of jessie-updates (in
combinaison with jessie-proposed-updates). I formulated my new
understanding in [3] and Adam confirmed it in [4].

You can read the discussions about all that mainly in theses three
threads [5] [6] [7]. This will provide you more information about the
situation.

Regards,
Pierre.
