Security Support for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 terminated on February 6th
--------------------------------------------------------------------
One year after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 alias "Squeeze" and
nearly three years after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias
"Lenny" the security support for the old distribution (5.0 alias
"Lenny") came to an end a few days ago. The Debian project is proud to
have been able to support its old distribution for such a long time and
even for one year after a new version has been released.

The Debian project released Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 alias "Squeeze" on
the 6th of February 2011. Users and distributors have been given a
one-year timeframe to upgrade their old installations to the current
stable release. Hence, the security support for the old release of 5.0
ended on the 6th of February 2012 as previously announced.

Previously announced security updates for the old release will continue
to be available on security.debian.org.

Security Updates
----------------
The Debian Security Team provides security updates for the current
distribution via <http://security.debian.org/>. Security updates for
the old distribution are also provided for one year after the new

Updated Debian 6.0: 6.0.4 released

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its
stable distribution Debian 6.0 (codename  "squeeze" ). This update
mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release,
along with a few adjustments to serious problems. Security advisories
were already published separately and are referenced where available.

Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of
Debian 6.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no
need to throw away 6.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date
Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages
to be updated.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't
have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org
are included in this update.

New installation media and CD and DVD images containing updated
packages will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to
one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of
mirrors is available at:

Community Distribution Patent Policy FAQ now available

The Debian Project is pleased to announce the availability of the
Community Distribution Patent Policy FAQ [1], a document meant to
educate Free Software developers, and especially distribution editors,
about software patent risks.

  1: http://www.debian.org/reports/patent-faq

The FAQ has been prepared by lawyers at Software Freedom Law Center [2]
(SFLC) at the request of and with input from the Debian Project. While
the document does not constitute legal advice, it provides insights on
dealing with software patents, which might be applicable to other
community-driven Free Software distributions.

  2: http://www.softwarefreedom.org

The Debian Project maintains a critical stance towards software patents:
we consider software patents a threat to Free Software and we believe
they provide no advantages in promoting software innovation.

At the same time, given the 'de facto' possibility of patenting software
related ideas in several countries around the world, it is important for
Free Software developers and distributors to neither underestimate nor

Debian Archive Signing Key to be changed

Debian Archive Signing Key to be changed

The Debian Project wishes to announce the change of the GNU Privacy
Guard key used to digitally sign the archive reference files.
Signatures are used to ensure that packages installed by users are the
very same originally distributed by Debian and have not been exchanged
or tempered with.

Affected distributions are the Debian unstable branch (codenamed "Sid")
as well as the testing branch (codenamed "Wheezy"). The Debian Security
(security.debian.org) and Backports (backports.debian.org) archive also
start using the new key now.  The current stable version Debian
GNU/Linux 6.0 (codenamed "Squeeze") and the current oldstable version
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (codenamed "Lenny") will have their ftpmaster
signature updated with their next point release.

The new key has already been distributed via the debian-archive-keyring
[1] package and is included in all current releases of Debian.

  1: http://packages.debian.org/debian-archive-keyring

Starting with the next mirror update this evening only the new key will
be used.

Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" released

After 24 months of constant development, the Debian Project is proud to
present its new stable version 6.0 (code name "Squeeze"). Debian 6.0 is
a free operating system, coming for the first time in two flavours.
Alongside Debian GNU/Linux, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is introduced with this
version as a "technology preview".

Debian 6.0 includes the KDE Plasma Desktop and Applications, the GNOME,
Xfce, and LXDE desktop environments as well as all kinds of server
applications.  It also features compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and
software developed for version 3.2 of the LSB.

Debian runs on computers ranging from palmtops and handheld systems to
supercomputers, and on nearly everything in between.  A total of nine
architectures are supported by Debian GNU/Linux: 32-bit PC / Intel
IA-32 (i386), 64-bit PC / Intel EM64T / x86-64 (amd64), Motorola/IBM
PowerPC (powerpc), Sun/Oracle SPARC (sparc), MIPS (mips (big-endian)
and mipsel (little-endian)), Intel Itanium (ia64), IBM S/390 (s390),
and ARM EABI (armel).

Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" introduces technical previews of two new ports to
the kernel of the FreeBSD project using the known Debian/GNU userland:
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD for the 32-bit PC (kfreebsd-i386) and the 64-bit PC
