debian security support history

2004-11-24 Thread Robert Lemmen
hi folks,

i am trying to sum up some facts about debian and created a graphic showing
the timeline of debian releases and security support, you can have a look
at a preliminary version [0]. i took the data from the debian news site [1]
but i am not sure everything is correct, so i wanted to ask:
- was there really no 2.1r1 to 2.1r3? the first point release i can see there 
 is r4...
- was there any security support for releases before slink?
- any other comments?

thanks a lot
robert

Guess no formal announcements for point releases were made back then.

[1] will give you an approximate date for 2.1r2 (end of April 1999 
probably) and an explanation why there really was no r1.
The earliest messages in the list archives for 2.1r3 are from Sept 1999.
