hi, debian-security-support | 2019.12.12~deb8u2 | jessie-security | source, all debian-security-support | 2020.06.21~deb9u1 | stretch | source, all debian-security-support | 2020.06.21~deb10u1 | buster | source, all debian-security-support | 2020.07.12 | bullseye | source, all debian-security-support | 2020.07.12 | sid | source, all
is what we currently have in the archive and which is a bit of a hassle to
maintain due to keeping version constraints sane (=newer releases should always
have higher versions) and since rather frequently there are changes only
affecting older releases (so one has to upload to sid first, then do a stable
update and then update oldstable to propagate something which is only relevant
for oldstable atm.)
Hence I propose to bump the epoch and introduce this versioning scheme:
sid: 0:11~2020.08.17
bullseye: 0:11~2020.08.17
buster: 0:10~2020.08.17
stretch: 0:9~2020.08.17
and so on.
Right now debian-security-support for stretch and jessie is already maintained
in extra branches, not sure when this will be useful for buster as well.
Feedback welcome.
