hardvk0 2 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 As of 25 April, one year after the release of Debian 8, alias "Jessie", and nearly three years after the release of Debian 7, alias "Wheezy", regular security support for Wheezy comes to an end. The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team will take over security support. https://www.debian.org/News/2016/20160425 Important: Wheezy-LTS only supports i386 and amd64. The support for armel and armhf is waiting for confirmation from all related Debian Teams. Users of other architectures are encouraged to upgrade to Debian 8 ("Jessie").

Igor 2301 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks for notice. Perhaps we could also stop providing prebuild images but left it as an build option if anyone needs it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed LTS would cover armel and armhf bit I guess not. My problems with Jessie concern sysvinit and also that Bluez5 doesn't do things that Bluez4 can.

hardvk0 2 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm with you phleum. Wheezy is better than Jessie, in my humble opinion, for several reasons.Is there a problem or incompatibility putting Stretch (testing) with Armbian repository?.I want to update multiple systems. Jessie missing some packages I need, do exist in Wheezy and Stretch, and I would not mix versions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie missing some packages I need, do exist in Wheezy and Stretch, and I would not mix versions You can install fresh Jessie and upgrade it to testing in-place or you can use apt pinning and use Jessie with some packages from testing.

Tido 187 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 This sounds to me, that with the next release of armbian I will have to switch to Jessie 3.4.111. Does Jessie with Kernel 3.4.111 come with systemd instead of sysV init, or is the information above misleading? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor 2301 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Our updates will still work, at least for kernel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
