Extended support
We upload packaged versions of Mahara to Debian and Ubuntu, which can be installed via the repositories.
This means that we provide security fixes only for these packages until the "End of life" dates. Only versions installed from the universe repositories are given security fixes beyond the official Mahara end of support date.
