there's a vivid discussion on opensuse-buildservice about the consequenses of "end of life" announcements to the buildservice.
See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2008-04/msg00185.html
The question was raised if it is possible to keep older distributions available for download (e.g. unsupported.opensuse.org) and building. Adrian pointed to opensuse-project to get this question answered.
You said it very well on -buildservice:
I think we should differentiate between
- supported and
- available for download/build
I do not see anyone asking for ongoing support and maintenance. But I do see requests for availability.
I agree completely. I see no reason why the availability of a particular product should be tied to the active Novell/openSUSE product support life cycle. I agree, too.
And for discontinued releases i would vote for preserving it in the build-service one more term (e.g. 10.1 until 10.2 is discontinued). So people have the opportunity to softly migrate.
Btw, the buildservice could be used by community members to provide security update services even after we discontinue it. Just needs some volunteers. ;) Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
