> Dear opensuse-security-announce subscribers and openSUSE users,
>
> SUSE Security announces that the SUSE Security Team will stop releasing 
> updates for openSUSE 11.2 soon.

> months, we will stop releasing updates after May 12th 2011.
>
> Discussions on whether a community driven extension of the maintenance like 
> Evergreen for openSUSE 11.1 are ongoing.
>
> As a consequence, the openSUSE 11.2 distribution directory on our server 
> download.opensuse.org will be removed from /distribution/11.2/ to free space 
> on our mirror sites. The 11.2 directory in the update tree
> /update/11.2 will follow, as soon as all updates have been published.
>
> Also the openSUSE buildservice repositories containing openSUSE 11.2 will be 
> moved to DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.2 and building against openSUSE 11.2 will 
> be disabled in all buildservice projects.
>
> The discontinuation of openSUSE 11.2 enables us to focus on the openSUSE 
> distributions of a newer release dates to ensure that our users can 
> continuously take advantage of the quality that they are used to with 
> openSUSE products.
>
> This announcement holds true for openSUSE 11.2 only. As usual, the openSUSE 
> project will continue to provide update packages for the following products:
>
> openSUSE 11.3 (supported until approximately Jan 15th 2012) openSUSE 11.4 
> (supported until approximately Sep 15th 2012) openSUSE Next (naming is 
> discussed currently) (currently in development, to be released in November 
> 2011) for the next two openSUSE releases plus a two months overlap period.
