Debian 10 LTS will reach end-of-life on June 30th, 2024
Dear Debian LTS users,
This is a gentle reminder that Debian 10 ("buster") will reach end of support as the LTS release on June 30, 2024. Users are encouraged to upgrade to Debian 11 ("bullseye").
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, the current oldstable release, taking over support from the Security Team during August. While the Debian LTS Team will shift its focus to bullseye, we will do our best to also contribute with security fixes for stable and the development releases, that remain under the responsibility of the Security Team.
Debian 11 will also receive Long Term Support for five years after its initial release, until June 30th, 2026. We will announce the supported architectures at a later date.
For further information about using bullseye and upgrading from buster LTS, please refer to [LTS/Using].
Debian and its LTS Team would like to thank all contributing users, developers and sponsors who are making it possible to extend the life of previous stable releases, and who have made this LTS a success.
If you rely on Debian LTS, please consider [joining the team], providing patches, testing or [funding the efforts].
