Re: Django LTS support time

The main issue with an LTS is that there's no such thing as "long enough". Upgrading once every three years -- especially when the compatibility policy now is that if you run on the previous LTS with no deprecation warnings, you'll also be able to run on the next LTS without errors -- is not that

Re: Django LTS support time

I don't think the DSF has the capacity or the will to run a business offering paid support contracts. But nothing is stopping an enterprising individual or company from doing so. All security patches are made public (eventually) and backporting fixes would be fairly low effort.

Re: Django LTS support time

Actually I'm pretty sure it could be done even if DSF kept a profit, to re-inject it into other developments for exemple. AFAIK the major difference between non-profit and company is that you don't own it and as such you cannot take dividends out of it personally. IMHO everybody would benefit

Re: Django LTS support time

This reminds me when m$ agreed to sponsor an open source rewrite of one of their languages, and asked the devs to reproduce the same bugs that were in the closed source version, and then went on and sold that as a feature. If there are people who are willing to maintain old versions for money

Re: Django LTS support time

IIRC such a service could threaten the DSF’a nonprofit / charity status. There are certainly third parties that offer this, including OS distributions that will backport security fixes as has been mentioned. Kye Russell Sent from my iPhone > On 12 Aug 2019, at 11:34 pm, Patryk Zawadzki

Re: Django LTS support time

Hi, Lean Sensei practicing Django since 2008 here. Have tried all sorts of strategies, the one that offers the best effort/ROI ratio is to upgrade as soon as a new version comes out, even if that means contributing patches to dependencies and deploying forks until patches are released. Best

Re: Django LTS support time

Just to throw in my two cents here. I work in an agency environment (lots of projects, very few staff) and we follow the LTS cycle for almost all projects. In my experience, jumping between LTS versions has - all things considered - not been that big of an issue for us. I still sometimes wake

Re: Django LTS support time

Thanks for your feedback. Eventually I found out that the Django Crispy Forms issue was a CSS bug in our CSS code. Anyway not related to Crispy Forms, it may take a lot of time and effort to upgrade Django for us, and I would prefer to keep using Django 1.11 as much as we can. אורי

.) FYI they’ll be a new release in the Autumn there, before Django 3.0, so a PR before then would be super. Kind Regards, Carlton > On 9 Aug 2019, at 09:29, ⁨אורי⁩ <⁨u...@speedy.net⁩> wrote: > > Django Developers, > > I would like to know why Django LTS support tim

Django LTS support time

Django Developers, I would like to know why Django LTS support time is 3 years. I think with Ubuntu LTS it's at least 5 years. We are using Django 1.11 for Speedy Net, which was released on April 2017, and I'm not sure we will be able to upgrade it before April 2020. There are changes which
