<DIV>Peter,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I assume you have an embedded product and not just a couple of boxes of
your own. If that's not the case, click the "Delete" button now
;)<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If you are embedding an operating system onto a device the best practices
are to find, and maintain yourself, a stable release which meets your
needs. You should not be updating the platform once you've validated
it. That road leads to having inconsistent software deployed. The
validation process needs to be long and thorough, not just "I downloaded
something someone said was stable." That road leads to "Why aren't my
devices working?"<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The problem with relying on an outside source is that the LTS version
they are providing may not meet your specific needs. Now you're back to
having a custom release all over again. So much for LTS ...<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My products in the field are starting to reach 2 years of age. I
will likely step to a new release this winter, validate it, then stay on
whatever configuration I've got for the next 2 or 3 years.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On the other paw, if you're devices aren't embedded, and are intended to
be updated periodically, it would be nice to have an LTS version.<BR></DIV>

<DIV>I have searched through the mailing list and found no easily
identifiable reference to this.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Is there any plan to release a LTS (Long Term Support) version of
Voyage? </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have a number of the older 0.5.2 releases out there and they do not
seem to have apt-get package support anymore. And if I was to upgrade
them I would just run into this same problem down the line.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
