Package: debian-security-support
Version: 1:13+2026.01.04
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
we're monitoring installed packages with ended security-support on our
machines via Xymon and this tiny shell script under
/etc/xymon/misc.d/debian-security-support:
#!/bin/sh
SUPPORT="$(check-support-status --type ended --no-heading)"
if [ -n "$SUPPORT" ]; then
echo "$SUPPORT"
exit 1;
fi
exit 0
But we also use some 3rd party packages like e.g. those from
Mattermost. As their 11.x release were quite buggy in the beginning, I
pinned them to 10.x versions which got continued, too.
But what I didn't notice in time was that we were running a 10.12.x
server which was EoL as only 10.11.x is a Mattermost ESR release.
Now I would like to create a file at e.g.
/etc/debian-security-support/mattermost where I can add all the dates
and versions from
https://docs.mattermost.com/product-overview/mattermost-server-releases.html
so that the above script warns me via our monitoring system if we
again run an outdated Mattermost server version.
