> I'm very much considering dropping support for Debian squeeze and Ubuntu
> precise (12.04LTS) from the packages come the late-May release of Koha
> 3.20.
> 
> This has come to something of a head here:
> http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13642#c58
> where it'd probably be an inordinate amount of work to backport the
> required package, however it should just work on newer distros.
> 
> It's also notable that Debian's jessie release is currently planned for April 25,
> so we'll continue to have two supported versions of this.
> 
> So, while I'd like to ask if this is going to really ruin anyone's day, unless
> there's a particularly compelling reason, this is more or less a foregone
> conclusion now as it's reached the point where it's risking holding back
> features in Koha.
> 
> So yeah, go and plan to upgrade to trusty (14.04) if you're on Ubuntu or
> wheezy if you're on Debian (or jessie if you're keen, though I haven't really
> tested the packaging on that yet.)
