• Bug#1022702: gnupg 2.4 EOL

    From Andreas Metzler@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 4 07:20:01 2025
    Hello,

    gnupg upstream has updated its End-of-life database on https://www.gnupg.org/download/:
    2.2 has reached EOL (2024-12-31) but 2.4 would/will not help us a lot
    for trixie. - It is a non-LTS release, reaching EOL in 2026-06-30 in the
    middle of the trixie lifecycle.

    2.6 will be a LTS release. It has not yet been declared stable. (2.5.x
    are "public testing releases eventually leading to a new stable version
    2.6.")

    [I am intentionally not adding anything regarding librepgpg vs RFC 9580
    here to limit the scope of this mail.]

    cu Andreas
