Hi, since security support for Debian Etch (4.0) is discontinued on Februrary 15th [1] etch-backports will close its doors the same day.
What does that mean?
- No uploads to etch-backports are allowed after this date
- Downloads will still be available, but every user is recommended to update to Debian Lenny / lenny-backports.
Just some numbers:
etch backports had 528 (source) backports with ~ 1300 accepted uploads. I have to say "Thank you" to every contributor without your work backports.org wouldn't be possible.
Thanks for you attention Alex - backports.org ftp-master
