Debian 'Stretch' Updated With 9.1 Release (debian.org)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the stretching-stretch dept.

An anonymous reader quotes Debian.org: The Debian project is pleased to announce the first update of its stable distribution Debian 9 (codename "stretch"). This point release mainly adds corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems... Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of Debian 9 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old "stretch" media... Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages, and most such updates are included in the point release.

    No it does not work like that. The main archive is supported by the Ubuntu core team, i.e the employed people. And tje rest is supported by the cummunity managers, like how 100Ã of the packages in Debian are supported.

    You're even luckier! There's a better supported version of Devuan without systemd, it's called Debian Stretch.
