[SECURITY] [DLA 465-1] debian-security-support update

[news 28]

Package : debian-security-support

Version : 2016.05.09+nmu1~deb7u1

 

It is not feasible to fully support some Debian packages through the releases

life cycle. The debian-security-support package provides the

check-support-status tool that helps to warn the administrator about installed

packages whose security support is limited or has to prematurely end.

 

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", debian-security-support version 2016.05.09+nmu1~deb7u1

updates the list of packages with restricted support in Wheezy LTS. In

particular, this version also includes a new feature to notify the user about

oncoming end-of-lifes.

 

We recommend you to install the debian-security-support and run

check-support-status to verify the status of installed packages. Please, refer

to the check-support-status (1) man page for more information about how to

use it.
