rdma-core: Minimum supported Debian & Ubuntu releases

[Benjamin Drung]

Hi,

which Debian & Ubuntu releases should rdma-core support? Do we have a
policy for that like all LTS versions?

I don't think that we have a policy for that.

Thanks

I understand there are still active users on the prior LTS, so I would
prefer to keep that working.

So to put numbers on it. rdma-core should support:

* Debian 9 (stretch) or newer
* Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic) or newer

Debian 9 is currently oldstable and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is the second
newest Ubuntu LTS version. Or do you refer to Debian 8 "jessie" (which
EOL last year) and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (EOL around now)?

Yes 16.04 :( Maybe it is nearing dead now, but if we don't have a
strong reason to kill it I'd prefer to leave it be. Basically if it
is in buildlib/azure-pipelines.yml it should work.

Even centos6 is still in active use for some reason, and our container
images for it can't even be built anymore :\

I don't have any info on Debian users.

Okay, so the known supported versions are:

* Debian 9 (stretch) or newer
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) or newer

There are a few changes between the master branch and debian/master: 

* Upgrade debhelper from 9 to 13
* Drop debug symbol migration

These changes will need to live in this branch for quite some time.
