Hi,

we're monitoring installed packages with ended security-support on our
machines via Xymon and this tiny shell script under
/etc/xymon/misc.d/debian-security-support:

  #!/bin/sh

  SUPPORT="$(check-support-status --type ended --no-heading)"

  if [ -n "$SUPPORT" ]; then
     echo "$SUPPORT"
     exit 1;
  fi

  exit 0

But we also use some 3rd party packages like e.g. those from
Mattermost. As their 11.x release were quite buggy in the beginning, I
pinned them to 10.x versions which got continued, too.

But what I didn't notice in time was that we were running a 10.12.x
server which was EoL as only 10.11.x is a Mattermost ESR release.

Now I would like to create a file at e.g.
/etc/debian-security-support/mattermost where I can add all the dates
and versions from
https://docs.mattermost.com/product-overview/mattermost-server-releases.html
so that the above script warns me via our monitoring system if we
again run an outdated Mattermost server version.

control: tags -1 + help confirmed
thanks

Hi Axel,
