Drop wheezy variant #466
Drop wheezy variant #466
Conversation
Full support for wheezy ended on April 26, 2016. LTS support will drop in May 2018: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Production_Releases We may want to wait until the LTS drop date. However, given the recent release of Stetch the timing seems approriate to do it sooner. Also worth noting is that LTS is not supported by the Debian Security team but by volunteers and interested companies: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Also not I'm not expecting this to land anytime soon. I figure this was an easy way to discuss dropping wheezy and to figure out the timing of same. |
|
Hmm, no test build. I guess this is because I removed things rather than changed existing files? |
It's there on Travis actually. Sometimes test builds don't show here on GitHub, no idea why. I'd like to see it dropped already myself, but admittedly there may be complaints if we do it before the LTS drop date. |

Yeah, it would be great to know what kind of usage the wheezy variant gets. I'd prefer to drop it in the next few weeks, to be honest, rather than wait until May of next year (the LTS eol date). |
|
This has conflicts, unsure if it needs to be rebased before we decide to land it, though |
|
Yeah, we won't be landing it anytime soon but I can clean it up in the meantime |
|
POW! I'll try and periodically keep this up to date. |
# Conflicts: # 6.11/wheezy/Dockerfile

I think maybe it might be better to close this and create an issue instead, with target date of May 2018. Keeping this in sync for a year isn't really worth the effort |
|
No reason to keep it up to date. A PR is just as good to track something as an issue, IMO |
|
I'm not sure what happened, but I lost my remote branch... |
|
Closing this in favour of #567 |

We may want to wait until the LTS drop date. However, given the recent
release of Stretch the timing seems appropriate to do it sooner.
