[opensuse-announce] SUSE Linux 9.2 security support is now discontinued.
by Marcus Meissner 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Hi, With todays release of "pam_ldap" we discontinue the security support for SUSE Linux 9.2. For the discontinuation schedule of our SUSE Linux products, please have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Linux_Lifetime The next discontinued SUSE Linux version will be SUSE Linux 9.3, around end of April 2007. SUSE Linux 9.2 was released in begin of October 2004. It was the first release featuring Delta RPMs, making downloads of patches even smaller than with the Patch RPMs we used before. The difference in "Recommended" patches is mostly due to the previous SUSE Linux 9.1 being the base of SLES 9 and also the first release with Linux 2.6 kernel and so getting more bugfixes. Patches (active patches) (difference to SL 9.1): Total: 581 (278 active) (-58) Security: 487 (204 active) (-5) Recommended: 74 (57 active) (-45) Optional: 20 (17 active) (-8) Split by type of patch (compared with 9.1 for the ones with large numbers): 17 kernel (-3) 16 clamav (+3) 14 apache2-mod_php4 (-3) 13 MozillaFirefox (+2) 11 opera ( 0) 10 ethereal ( 0) 9 phpMyAdmin ( 0) 8 squid (-2) 7 apache2 (-2) 7 squirrelmail (+1) 6 kdelibs3 (-5) 6 mailman ( 0) 6 MozillaThunderbird 6 wget 6 xorg-x11-server 6 xpdf 5 acroread 5 gaim 5 gpg 5 gpg2 5 horde 5 ImageMagick 5 java-1_4_2-sun 5 kdegraphics3-pdf 5 libtiff 5 mozilla 5 mysql 5 postgresql 5 RealPlayer 5 ruby 4 dia 4 evolution 4 freeradius 4 gd 4 gpdf 4 heimdal 4 mpg123 4 openssh 4 openssl 4 pdftohtml 4 samba 4 xine-lib (rest has 3 occurences or less) du of update tree: 1748156 ./deltas 1796 ./misc/resizer 1800 ./misc 2156 ./patches 3652 ./patches.obsolete 23068 ./repodata 3696756 ./rpm/i586 87780 ./rpm/noarch 1259832 ./rpm/src 2486308 ./rpm/x86_64 7530680 ./rpm 24 ./scripts 9309540 .
