When I write an e-mail to a DD and ask for a newer backport, most DD's are very friendly and like to do that. I generally think it's a good thing to have the same packages in backports as in testing. > Therefore for backports.d.o this is currently a no-go. I ask for it in the Debian-LTS list, not in de backports list. Maybe backports should remove packages what are removed from testing. Or where the version is not the same as in testing (after some time). With regards, Paul van der Vlis -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/
Backports LTS security support
Hello, I would like to have LTS support for backports. On most systems I use one or more packages from backports. When the same version of a package is in use in the next version of Debian, I guess backporting them is -in most cases- not a big problem. I am interesting if it would be a good idea to ask maintainers in the freeze-phase to put the same versions in stable-backports, if the package is in backports. Maybe we could say somewhere in the future: LTS supports backports, but only when the same version of a package is in the next Debian version. With some exceptions. Maybe I could do something myself by asking maintainers to update packages what are in backports, but with another version then in testing. Good idea?

For LTS it's something else, DD's get payed for the work they do. I am very interested in LTS support for backports. (And I can make simple backports.)

Fwd: jessie-backports discontinued
Hello, I saw the security support for jessie-backports has been stopped. To be honest, I did not realize that there is no LTS security support for backports, and I do use it! Maybe it's an idea to find ways to add backports to the LTS support in the future? Many of the packages will have the same version in oldstable I guess. And we could try to stimulate the versions are the same. (Maybe we could even do the same for backports-sloppy in LTS: use the same version as in stable) With regards, Paul van der Vlis Doorgestuurd bericht Onderwerp: jessie-backports discontinued Opnieuw-verstuurd-datum: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 06:01:21 +0200 Opnieuw-verstuurd-door: Rhonda D'Vine Opnieuw-verstuurd-naar: debian-backports-annou...@lists.debian.org Datum: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 19:29:26 +0200 Van: Rhonda D'Vine Aan: debian-backports-annou...@lists.debian.org With jessie entering LTS we are following up with shutting down jessie-backports (and jessie-backports-sloppy). We deprecated LTS support for backports already with the release of stretch, and a thread that we started on debian-backports about it didn't raise any new ideas how to make this working, so if you are using backports on jessie we suggest you to take this as a strong recommendation to finally do the upgrade to stretch. Almost 2000 packages were uploaded to jessie-backports during its life cycle, and nearly 100 to jessie-backports-sloppy. We thank all the contributors for their continued effort to keep these package in a good shape, which added to the usefulness of the Debian ecosystem. The suites will soon be moved to the archive, no new upload will get processed, and it is planned to get removed from the regular mirror network to reduce confusion about continuing support of it. Enjoy, Rhonda on behalf of the backports ftp-master team
