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 think someone said it already, but never mind - once you're running servers in a 24h production environment, changes and upgrades are few and far between. Which is why people are still running SUSE 6, 7 and 8. I've got a firewall still running 7.1, and a major production system still running 8.2. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
