Package: debian-maintainers Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I understand that LTS support for Wheezy is to end effective May 31.2018. Because of kernel issues in regards to the amateur radio protocol stacks this should be extended until such time that proper kernel patches are committed and in place. As of this writing, the more stable kernel available is 3.2.0.5 if one is using debian for amateur radio ax25/netrom/rose interfaces, otherwise many critical issues too great to list here exist. Staying on Wheezy for now is a ham's best bet for system stability. Even kernel 3.2.0.6 will lock the system up within 48 hours. No outcome at this time, hopefully Debian will reconsider extending Wheezy LTS support for a while longer. Thanks for your considerations. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.11 APT prefers oldoldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldoldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-5-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
