Hi, as you probably know our initial commitment to support 11.4 within Evergreen was until July 2014. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen While I was hoping that we can keep 11.4 alive for some time longer this is currently not possible from what I would call the "core team" which is Stefan and myself. We are too busy nowadays to be able to scan and patch every issue we get aware of. Thanks to you all who contributed to the success of Evergreen/11.4! The important message is: openSUSE 11.4 Evergreen is not actively maintained anymore! So if you can, we recommend to switch to openSUSE 13.1 as soon as possible which is still planned to be an Evergreen release. Some more details below: The repository already got and will most likely get more updates from package maintainers who care about 11.4 and/or their packages though. You noticed that with recent releases of patches for the bash and NSS issues already, BUT this is _no_ guarantee that every security issue will be fixed. We will accept contributions from anyone though and I will try to take care about "my" packages. Some numbers from 11.4 Evergreen (as far as I was able to get them easily): Evergreen lifetime: 21 months 11.4 overall lifetime (incl. Evergreen): 41 months / 3 years 5 months Evergreen lifetime numbers (w/o official maintenance period): Released update source packages: 804 Unique touched source packages: 177 rough number of patches (based on incident counter): 320 Let me also quote Marcus' numbers from official maintenance lifetime: Total updates: 723 Security: 416 Recommended: 306 Optional: 1 Thanks, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help@opensuse.org
