Debian 7 Wheezy LTS support now also both armel and armhf architectures



Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project created to extend the life
of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years.

Thanks to the LTS sponsors, Debian's buildd maintainers and the Debian
FTP Team are excited to announce that two new architectures, armel and
armhf, are going to be supported in Debian 7 Wheezy LTS. These
architectures along with i386 and amd64 will receive two additional
years of extended security support.

Security updates for Debian LTS are not handled by the native Debian
Security Team, but instead by a separate group of volunteers and
companies interested in making it a success.

Wheezy's LTS period started [1] a few weeks ago and more than fifty
updates have been announced so far. If you use Debian 7 Wheezy, you do
not need to change anything in your system to start receiving those
updates.

More information about how to use Debian Long Term Support and other
important changes regarding Wheezy LTS is available at
