Quoting Bret Busby (bret.bu...@gmail.com): -- Forwarded message -- From: Bret Busby bret.bu...@gmail.com Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2015 22:54:42 +0800 Subject: Re: Bug#780201: new codename needed for oldstable (due to squeeze-lts) when stable becomes oldstable To: debian-...@lists.debian.org I have no idea what this is about. AIUI oldstable doesn't have a codename. squeeze is a codename and will never ever change. At the moment, oldstable points at squeeze. When jessie is released, the pointers will shift along one (except at the cutting edge), oldstable will point at wheezy, and squeeze will drop off the bottom, no longer supported. What relevance is squeeze-lts? It's supported by a separate group, so how long it lasts is up to them. I think it's wishful thinking that Debian should get involved in supporting TWO generations of old versions. Why not simply use the states experimental unstable testing and for the stable version stable and version number (eg Debian7) and all preceding versions, version number eg Debian6 LTS Debian 5 Debian4 etc Seems logical, and, meaningful, and, simple enough to me. Or read https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases rather than dreaming up new names for the likes of buzz.
