--- Begin Message ---Package: release-notes Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, mysql 5.1 was recently "end of lifed", which makes security support in Debian LTS fairly difficult (since Oracle doesn't release information on the security bugs fixed) The release notes already mention mysql and mariadb explicity and to prevent surprises, we had a brief discussion the security team and would like to explicitly document the support end for mysql/mariadb along with it. Patch attached, review from an English native speaker would certainly be welcome.
