Debian 9.1 Released
Debian 9.1 Released
The Debian project is pleased to announce the first update of its stable distribution Debian 9 (codename stretch
). This point release mainly adds corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories have already been published separately and are referenced where available.
Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of Debian 9 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old stretch
media. After installation, packages can be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror.
Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won’t have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.
New installation media and CD and DVD images containing updated packages will be available soon.
Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the aptitude (or apt) package tool to one of Debian’s many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:
