Debian 10 Long Term Support reaching end-of-life
June 15th, 2024
The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 10
buster
support will reach its end-of-life on June 30, 2024, nearly five
years after its initial release on July 6th, 2019.
Starting in July, Debian will not provide further security updates for
Debian 10. A subset of buster
packages will be supported by external
parties. Detailed information can be found at
Extended LTS.
The Debian LTS Team will prepare afterwards the transition to Debian 11
bullseye
, the current oldstable release. Thanks to the combined effort
of different teams including the Security Team, the Release Team, and the LTS
Team, the Debian 11 life cycle will also encompass five years. To make the
life cycle of Debian releases easier to follow, the related Debian teams
have agreed on the following schedule: three years of regular support plus
two years of Long Term Support. The LTS Team will take over support from
the Security and the Release Teams on August 14, 2024, three years after
the initial release on August 14, 2021. The final point update release for
bullseye
will be published soon after the final Debian 11 Security
Advisory (DSA) will be issued.
Debian 11 will receive Long Term Support until August 31, 2026. The supported architectures remain amd64, i386, arm64 and armhf.
For further information about using bullseye
LTS and upgrading from
buster
LTS, please refer to
LTS/Using.
Debian and its LTS Team would like to thank all contributing users, developers, sponsors and other Debian teams who are making it possible to extend the life of previous stable releases.
If you rely on Debian LTS, please consider joining the team, providing patches, testing or funding the efforts.
