Get ready for Debian 11 LTS
From https://lts-team.pages.debian.net/wiki/Development.html#switching-to-the-next-lts-release:
-
Update the wiki page LTS/Using -
Send a reminder to debian-lts-announce@lists.debian.org two months before the official support for the last LTS ends. -
Contact the Teams/Publicity and draft an announcement that the old LTS release cycle has come to an end and a new one has started. Example, Example 2 -
Ensure that the infrastructure is ready for the new LTS release. -
Contact the FTP team and ask them to wait four weeks with archiving the old LTS release to give users a "grace period" to update their systems. -
Contact the Stable Release Managers for coordinating the last point release (and so that they can clean up the proposed updates queues). -
Update all other relevant wiki pages especially LTS/Installing, LTS/Development, etc. -
Contact Wanna-build team to ask them to make oldstable build logs public. (e-mail) -
Create LTS/Bullseye -
Check/update/merge security-support-ended.debX in debian-security-support -
Follow debian-security-support's README.source -
We shouldn't just forward-port the EOL list, i.e. if the only reason to not support something is "we didn't support it in previous releases", then we should support it. -
Also check for missing/pending EOLs announced in recent DSAs, e.g. searching for 'discontinued' in the [mail archive](https://lists.debian.org/cgi-bin/search?P=discontinued&DEFAULTOP=or&B=Gdebian-security-announce&SORT=0&HITSPERPAGE=10&xP=discontinued&xFILTERS=Gdebian-security-announce%7E-%7E%7E4294967295)
-
Request team members / sponsors opinion, e.g. EOL candidates for security-support-ended.deb10
-
-
Update/verify the contents of data/packages/lts-do-call-me and data/packages/lts-do-not-call in the security tracker. -
Reference pending proposed-updates in data/dla-needed.txt to prevent conflicts
