If that's not the case, click the "Delete" button now ;) If you are embedding an operating system onto a device the best practices are to find, and maintain yourself, a stable release which meets your needs. You should not be updating the platform once you've validated it. That road leads to having inconsistent software deployed. The validation process needs to be long and thorough, not just "I downloaded something someone said was stable." That road leads to "Why aren't my devices working?" The problem with relying on an outside source is that the LTS version they are providing may not meet your specific needs. Now you're back to having a custom release all over again. So much for LTS ... My products in the field are starting to reach 2 years of age. I will likely step to a new release this winter, validate it, then stay on whatever configuration I've got for the next 2 or 3 years. On the other paw, if you're devices aren't embedded, and are intended to be updated periodically, it would be nice to have an LTS version. -- Julie Haugh Senior Design Engineer greenHouse Computers, LLC // jfh at greenhousepc.com // greenHousePC on Skype -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Voyage-linux] Long Term Support From: <[email protected]> Date: Wed, August 24, 2011 4:33 pm To: [email protected] I have searched through the mailing list and found no easily identifiable reference to this. Is there any plan to release a LTS (Long Term Support) version of Voyage? I have a number of the older 0.5.2 releases out there and they do not seem to have apt-get package support anymore. And if I was to upgrade them I would just run into this same problem down the line.
