Subject: [DNG] Debian Wheezy LTS until 2018
[image: Debian] <https://distrowatch.com/debian>The Debian
<https://distrowatch.com/debian> project has announced that regular
security support for Debian 7 "Wheezy" has reached its end. For people who
wish to continue running Debian Wheezy, this version of Debian will be
maintained by the Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team
<https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/>. "As of 25 April, one year after the release
of Debian 8, alias "Jessie", and nearly three years after the release of
Debian 7, alias "Wheezy", regular security support for Wheezy comes to an
end. The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team will take over security
support. Information for users: Wheezy LTS will be supported from 26 April
2016 to 31 May 2018. For Debian 7 Wheezy LTS there will be no requirement
to add a separate wheezy-lts suite to your *sources.list* any more and your
current setup will continue to work without further changes." Additional
information on Debian Wheezy's transition from regular to LTS support can
be found in the announcement <https://www.debian.org/News/2016/20160425>.
