  Updates were finished around June from the official announcment:

  I'm not currently aware of anybody working on Woody updates, although
 I'm sure there could be people making personal updates it is a very
 difficult job.

  Upgrading would be the best solution, unless you have a very complex
 setup which you fear will break.  As time goes on that will only get
 harder I guess.

Any source for Woody security updates

2006-10-31 Thread Scott Gifford 
Hello,

I have several Debian Woody systems that, for various reasons, are
inconvenient to update.  I somehow misread Debian's support policy,
and though I had another year before support ended, but now I'm
finding that these systems are getting out-of-date and security
updates are no longer available.

Fedora solves this problem with the unoffical "Fedora Legacy" project;
when official support ends, I change my update configuration to use
the "Fedora Legacy" update servers, and get another few years of
security updates.

Is there anything similar for old versions of Debian?  A site I could
put in my sources.list which will provide Woody security updates for a
bit longer?  Any other ideas, or do I just have to drive out and do
the upgrades?

Thanks,

Scott.
