Subject: [security-announce] openSUSE 12.1 has reached end of SUSE support
Hi all,
with the release of the kernel-update on May 06th, 2013 the SUSE sponsored maintenance of openSUSE 12.1 has ended.
openSUSE 12.1 is now officially discontinued and out of support by SUSE.
openSUSE 12.1 was the first openSUSE distribution maintained using
OpenBuildService methods (known as "OBS Maintenance"), allowing full
community participation, from the beginning.
openSUSE 12.1 was released on November 16th 2011, making it 18 months of security and bugfix support.
Currently, there are no plans to add 12.1 to the evergreen-project. If something changes, I'll inform you as soon as
possible.
Here are some statistics of our released updates (compared to 11.4):
Total updates: 789 (+65)
Security: 389 (-28)
Recommended: 398 (+92)
Optional: 2 (+1)
Fixed CVE-entries: 1508 (+193)
Fixed Bugs (overall): 1874 (+319)
The increase of the resolved issues is related to the easier participation in working on openSUSE with the
OpenBuildService.
Thanks on this point to our awesome packagers, community and OpenBuildService-Team!
Your maintenance- and security-team

I think 12.3 is probably the top candidate at the moment, but sofar I've had my own reservations about that. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What suprised you about it? The plan never was to support every single openSUSE version. I'd love to but it would need some more contributors. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

For decisions that have formally been made, the right place is: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen#Supported_distributions The choice of next targeted version hasn't been made. 12.3 and 13.1 are the ones mostly talked about.

A version with possibilities has to be chosen. Now they are thinking about 12.3 or 13.1, to replace the current evergreen 11.4. The pity is that it can not be choosen at release time. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
