Hello,
The openSUSE Evergreen team would like to announce that openSUSE 13.1
will be the next Evergreen release. This means that openSUSE 13.1 will
continue to be supplied with security updates and important bugfixes
until it has had a total life time of at least three years.
The openSUSE Evergreen team expands the lifespan of openSUSE releases by
issuing security- and stability fixes after the usual 18 months. The
team has kept selected releases maintained for an additional one and a
half to three years. The first Evergreen release was openSUSE 11.1.
Current releases in the Evergreen maintenance program are openSUSE 11.2
to be maintained until november 2013 (a total of 4 years) and 11.4 to be
maintained until July 2014 (reaching over three).
Find more information about Evergreen and how to keep your openSUSE
release alive on the Evergreen wiki page:

on behalf of the whole Evergreen team

Me too. :-)
I'd like to take the oportunity to raise awareness of an issue with
evergreen: that packagers remove the repos for 11.4 version, creating
dificulties for people that used them when 11.4 was "new". For example,
the kde stable repo has dissapeared, meaning I might have to "degrade" my
11.4 to to the plain OSS.
It would be appreciated if they at least freeze those repos.

Why would you have to downgrade? you can keep all the packages you
ever downloaded and installed.
Not having the repository only stops you from installing stuff from
there - not from using the stuff.
If you consider KDE important enough on an Evergreen installation, I'd
advocate to get into the Evergreen update and actually MAINTAIN those
packages. SOMEBODY must do the work; and I'd be surprised if much was
done on those packages lately to 'maintain' them, incl. eventual
security fixes (I don't know.. maybe there was a lot of work done.. )

Which could happen. I might need to add a component. Sometimes you even
need to reinstall.

I'm not asking for the packages to be maintained actively. I'm only asking
for them not to be deleted, it is a different thing. It only needs space
on (some) servers and mirrors, no maintenance time.
When a repo is actively maintained for evergreen, it can be renamed
'evergreen' instead.
It would be very aceptable if a mirror branch is created with an image of
as many repos as possible, and frozen. Then they are taken out of the
mirror replication across the world, unless by those that want to.
