3.12 isn't development, it's the current release. Only things with odd numbers in the minor version number are development. 3.12, 3.10, and 3.8 are all supported releases*, although as they get older, they get (and need) less and less attention. If you want a truly LTS release supported for five years, you need to either do it yourself or find someone who wants to. As it's a free software community, these things are driven by what people want combined with the effort/resources they're able to commit to it. Currently the focus of these efforts is in favour of regular updates on a reliable schedule. Not enough people want an LTS who are willing to stump up the time or money. Basically, we're doing what's the best match for what our clients want. It's good luck, but not a requirement, that this might align with what's best for you. If it doesn't, then you need to do something about that, and expecting us to change our currently-working methods isn't likely to be it. Typically we have our libraries running on one of the three releases above. They can upgrade once or twice a year as they see fit. We strongly discourage them from sitting on an unsupported release for too long, as it becomes harder to get back to being current again, and are unlikely to get fixes to anything that's not critical. * though packaging is typically only done for the actual development (3.13), the current (3.12) and the previous (3.10) releases, due to demand and effort. Also, some of your comments were taken from the Debian installation wiki page and are out of date. I've corrected those. It's getting time I did a rewrite of that whole page. There are comments in there from the 3.4 days, when the packages were very much experimental. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
