Rebasing Apertis
Each Apertis release is based on the current Debian stable release. This means that approximately bi-yearly Apertis makes the jump to be based on a new version of Debian. This process is known as “rebasing”.
Please see Release flow and product lines for more information about this policy.
The following terms will be used here:
OLD_DEV_RELEASE: The existing Apertis release on which the new release will be based. NEW_DEV_RELEASE: The new Apertis development release that we are creating during the rebasing process.
