Determinate Secure Packages
Support calendar
The support timeline for currently available and future distributions of Determinate Secure Packages.
We support every Determinate Secure Packages distribution for at least 12 months, and one in every four receives 60 months of Long-term Support (LTS). We also support a rolling distribution that stays up to date with master in Nixpkgs.
If you need support beyond 60 months, we offer optional Extended Support for any LTS distribution: another 60 months from the day its Long-term Support ends, for 120 months in all. to add it to your agreement.
