[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] About virtualbox-ose in squeeze

Hello,

we have virtualbox-ose in dla-needed.txt for a while already. Upstream
support by Oracle ended in June 2015 and I doubt that we will ever have
fixes for the latest issues that have been reported against it...

I would thus suggest that we send out a DLA announcing that it's no longer
supported in squeeze and that we update debian-security-support. What do
you think?

Gianfranco, do you agree or is there any chance of another 3.2.x release
from upstream?

Cheers,
