Debian Stretch final update issued, migrate from / drop Debian 9
Summary
Updated Debian 9: 9.13 released
After this point release, Debian's Security and Release Teams will no longer be producing updates for Debian 9. Users wishing to continue to receive security support should upgrade to Debian 10, or see https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for details about the subset of architectures and packages covered by the Long Term Support project.
Debian 9 Stretch release is an LTS
Stretch also benefits from Long Term Support (LTS) until the end of June 2022. The LTS is limited to i386, amd64, armel, armhf and arm64.
Points
-
For the Omnibus GitLab, how long should we continue to maintain Stretch based packages?
-
For the Cloud Native GitLab as used by the Helm charts, how soon should we migrate away from
debian:stretch-slim
, and with what priority?
Action
From the discussion here, create Issue/Epics as needed to track the implementation of moving to Debian 10 "Buster" for each packaging type applicable.
