Hi,

In the meantime I see there has been a backport of 6 to bullseye-
backports.
Is it still the best course of action to remove 5.01-3.1 from stable,
or
does it work well enough on old hardware to be worth keeping?

Thanks,

Hi,

actually now I think we could just keep it in bullseye. Anyone with
recent hardware could get it from backports and probable also will (if
not have already) upgrade to bookworm.
Or what do you think Fabio? Should the old memtest still be removed
from oldstable?

I at least didn't get any complains about the old version, since I
became a co-maintainer of memtest86+

Hi, old version doesn't work on many hardwares but deleting memtest86+ from oldstable repo doesn't seem like a good thing to me, rather now that there is a new stable I suppose oldstable is much less used and relevant and could stay that way; because I suppose that almost all sysadmin/users now have the new iso and in case they need to test the old systems without being able to load the iso, they install the new memtest86+ version from backports before. or am I wrong?
