Security per Woody verso la chiusura
2 06 2006Come di consueto, sta per terminare il supporto di sicurezza alla release definita "oldstable" Debian! Si tratta, ovviamente, di Woody.
Come si legge nel comunicato ufficiale (allegato alla news) Sarge è stata rilasciata il 19 giugno, e si era definito un periodo di supporto, per la vecchia woody, di circa un anno.
Il team security abbandonerà il supporto, quindi, alla fine di giugno! Chi non avesse ancora provveduto ad aggiornare la propria Debian Box...beh...lo faccia in fretta

Security Support for Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 to be terminated on June 30th
More than one year after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias 'sarge' and nearly four years after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 alias 'woody' the security support for the old distribution (3.0 alias 'woody') is coming to an end next month. The Debian project is proud to be able to support its old distribution for such a long time and even for one year after a new version has been released.
The Debian project has released Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias 'sarge' on the 6th of June 2005. Users and Distributors have been given a one-year timeframe to upgrade their old installations to the current stable release. Hence, the security support for the old release of 3.0 is going to end in June 2006 as previously announced.
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 alias 'woody' has been released on July 19th 2002. Security updates for this release are going to be distributed via security.debian.org until the end of June 2006. Older updates will continued to be available on security.debian.org until December 2006. This reflects a supported lifetime of nearly four years.
Security Updates
The Debian Security Team provides security updates for the current distribution via <http://security.debian.org/>. Security updates for the old distribution are also provided for one year after the new distribution has been released or until the current distribution is superseded, whatever happens first.
