Debian "Stretch" 9.13 release preparations ongoing

Just checking in. Debian "Jessie" == oldoldstable == Debian 8 was the previous Debian Long Term Support release. Debian LTS seeks to provide support for Debian releases for five years. LTS support for Jessie ended on 30th June 2020.

A limited subset of Jessie will now move to ELTS - Extended Long Term Support and another two years projected support.

Neither LTS nor ELTS are supported  any longer by the main Debian folks: instead, they are supported on a commercial basis by a group of Debian volunteers and companies, coordinated by a company led by Raphael Hertzog.

Debian releases are fully supported by the Debian project for two years after the release of the next version.  Today is the final release of Stretch by Debian to incorporate security fixes and so on up to the handover to LTS.

if you are currently running Stretch: you do not need the new CD images. Apt / apt-get update will supply you the updates up until today. Hereafter, Stretch will be supported only as LTS - see LTS
