Lenny

The Debian project has announced in a security advisory ( DSA-2360-1) that the security support for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 “Lenny” will be terminated in february 2012 : This is an advance notice that security support for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (code name "lenny") will be terminated in two months. 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 is going to end 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. FYI, Dotdeb will follow this decision and no new packages will be available for Debian 5.0 after february 2012. Don’t be sad, this will give me some free time to focus on PHP 5.4 packages and some more cool tools. ...

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 “Lenny” has been published on last Valentine’s day. Although most of the Dotdeb packages for the previous release, “Etch”, are compatible with Lenny, it is now time for Dotdeb to have dedicated packages for this new distribution. I’m actually kind of busy at work, but I managed to build and upload the most important packages : PHP5, PHP5 PECL extensions and MySQL 5.1. Additional pieces of software (Google Perftools, for example) will appear in the next few days. Please be patient and don’t hesit to make suggestions. ...
