Description

CONTRIBUTING > Version Updates is updated with information concerning Debian releases and lifecycle transitions.

Motivation and Context

Debian release lifecycle transitions require re-configuration action of node Docker image variants.

CONTRIBUTING > Version Updates does not yet include any related description.

Debian Releases > Release life cycle states:

Debian announces its new stable release on a regular basis. The Debian release life cycle encompasses five years: the first three years of full support followed by two years of Long Term Support (LTS).

• Release
• End of Life (EOL) after 3 years
• End of LTS after another 2 years, 5 years in total

When Debian transitions from EOL to LTS, the LTS support team defines and publishes LTS support architectures that may be only a subset of the architectures supported during the original release phase.
