Thanks a lot Adam for the clarification. Now that Jessie is in LTS and that jessie-updates/ is gone, does this also mean there won't be any other updates to tzdata, clamav, or similar (timely dependent's) packages ?
Or if still updated, where does we got them from ? I guess it's not from security updates ? Regards, Pierre. Le ven. 29 mars 2019 à 17:02, Adam D.
