Stretch transition freeze in a month

It is the first of October and that means the transition freeze is roughly one month away (Nov 5th 2016). In other words, this is the “final boarding call for transitions”.

 

Other milestone dates:

  • If you want new packages into Stretch, you have about 3 months (Jan 5th 2017).  This includes auto removed packages.
  • Automatic updates of existing packages stop in 4 months (Feb 5th 2017)
