Debian 7 Wheezy LTS now supporting armel and armhf
On Thu 02 June 2016 with tags Wheezy LTS debianWritten by Markus Koschany
Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project created to extend the life of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years.
Thanks to the LTS sponsors, Debian's buildd maintainers and the Debian FTP Team are excited to announce that two new architectures, armel and armhf, are going to be supported in Debian 7 Wheezy LTS. These architectures along with i386 and amd64 will receive two additional years of extended security support.
Security updates for Debian LTS are not handled by the native Debian Security Team, but instead by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success.
Wheezy's LTS period started a few weeks ago and more than thirty updates have been announced so far. If you use Debian 7 Wheezy, you do not need to change anything in your system to start receiving those updates.
