-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 29 17:00:00 MEST 2005 Dear suse-security-announce subscribers and SUSE LINUX users, With the release of the SUSE Linux 9.3 FTP edition this week, SUSE Security announces that the SUSE Linux 8.2 version of our home user product will be discontinued soon. Having provided security-relevant fixes for more than two years, vulnerabilities found in SUSE Linux 8.2 after July 14th 2005 will not be fixed any more for this product. As a consequence, the SUSE Linux 8.2 distribution directory on our ftp server ftp.suse.com has been moved from /pub/suse/i386/8.2/ to the /pub/suse/discontinued/ directory tree structure to free space on our mirror sites for the SUSE Linux 9.3 FTP edition; the 8.2 directory in the update tree /pub/suse/i386/update/8.2 will follow later in July 2005, as soon as all updates have been published. The discontinuation of SUSE Linux 8.2 enables us to focus on the SUSE LINUX distributions of a newer release date to ensure that our customers can continuously take advantage of the quality that they are used to with SUSE LINUX products. This announcement holds true for SUSE Linux 8.2 only. As usual, SUSE will continue to provide update packages for the following home users distributions: SUSE LINUX 9.0 SUSE LINUX 9.1 SUSE LINUX 9.2 and SUSE LINUX 9.3 for a two-year period after the release of the respective distribution. Please note that the maintenance cycles of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server products and products based on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server operating system are not affected by this announcement. To learn more about SUSE LINUX business products, please visit http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please do not hesitate to contact SUSE Security at <security@suse.de>. Best regards, Roman Drahtmüller, SUSE Security. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBQsK7yney5gA9JdPZAQGZ4Af/aXyoJzrkoiIe8PkysAlAbjCmbQWHnNWJ eLpk5xgtu/TTX2/zT6LrSg6t1uV4bgxg/x5026CShTXLJRpjMgRrlfZCZpSMUW3o DB5kLs2SSWWV8Ep7L2faiU5yMf4CD1LZ4HWq9wNxk/1vpbDilZL5Ni713D8r/Mcv WE5r3amyU0TkXO2peYNj4z8lk2rwiaJFUwMZzG6MRCn1CtgDXCIdwqe1gPn0tpdq r3tkRpLJrQltpPHcjO3N6MXo8OUlzThg4nm+C5WY0tbSn5eDo+DYdWH2s03fp20W M/9IKaoxACOtpgJhuljxA8OVtJ/7ybNaTfKquvfhMaoUuTiZtcBENA== =rNzC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
