The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 7

"Wheezy" support has reached its end-of-life on May 31, 2018, five years

after its initial release on May 4, 2013.

of Wheezy packages will be supported by external parties. Detailed

The LTS Team will prepare the transition to Debian 8 "Jessie", which is

the current oldstable release. The LTS team will take over support from

the Security Team on June 17, 2018.

 

Debian 8 will also receive Long Term Support for five years after its

initial release with support ending on June 30, 2020. The supported

architectures include amd64, i386, armel and armhf.

previous stable releases, and who have made this LTS a success.
