I don't think this is that useful since Max appears to be using Proxmox, not Debian. The question is a discrepancy in what Proxmox considers Debian's EOL date to be. > Le 20/05/2026 à 14:48, Max Engel a écrit : > > I would like to inquire about the official End-of-Life (EOL) date of > > Debian 12 (“Bookworm”), as I have encountered conflicting information. > > According to statements from the Proxmox team, the Proxmox Virtual > > Environment reaches its End of Life alongside Debian 12, which they > > indicate is in August 2026. That would be true if the statement on: > > * https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Versions_of_Debian_stable about "the EOL date for the stable release is the date of the next stable release plus one year." were accurate, but as can be seen from that page, historically that has not been exactly right: 12 days longer for stretch, about 3 weeks longer for buster, nearly two months for bullseye, and, if that page is to be believed, two months short for bookworm. But, the wiki article above is also different from: > > * https://www.debian.org/releases/oldstable/ which states 30 June, not 10 June. So I don't know which, if any of them, is authoritative. My guess, the page that's on www.debian.org not wiki.debian.org. And that the comment about "one year after the next release date" is to be considered highly flexible. So I think Proxmox are probably mistaken, but it's easy to see how that could happen. Thanks, Andy
