This means that a ports tree checked out after this date is not guaranteed to produce usable packages on 5.X. Additionally, 5.X package builds on the cluster will cease. Users are encouraged to upgrade to 6.3 or 7.0 if they wish to continue to track the latest ports tree. A tag, RELEASE_5_EOL, has been laid down to mark the last point in the ports tree that officially supported FreeBSD 5.X. Port Manager asks that you not rush to remove 5.X support right away as we'd like a settling-down period, and we want secteam to have a chance to make their EOL announcements as well.

The new list is below and at . FreeBSD 5.5, FreeBSD 6.1, and FreeBSD 6.2 have `expired' and are no longer supported effective June 1, 2008. Users of these releases are advised to upgrade promptly to FreeBSD 6.3 or FreeBSD 7.0, either by downloading an updated source tree and building updates manually, or (for i386 and amd64 systems) using the FreeBSD Update utility as described in the FreeBSD 6.3 and FreeBSD 7.0 release announcements. This marks the end of support by the FreeBSD Security Team for the FreeBSD 5-STABLE branch, and at this time support for running software from the ports tree on FreeBSD 5.x is also ceasing: Packages for binary installations will no longer be built for FreeBSD 5.5, building ports from source on FreeBSD 5.x will no longer be supported, and the ports INDEX will no longer be built and made available via portsnap or the 'make fetchindex' target. Patches for individual ports specific for their functioning on FreeBSD 5.5 may still be accepted at the discretion of the port maintainer. [Excerpt from http://security.freebsd.org/ follows] FreeBSD Security Advisories The FreeBSD Security Officer provides security advisories for several branches of FreeBSD development. These are the -STABLE Branches and the Security Branches. (Advisories are not issued for the -CURRENT Branch.) * There is usually only a single -STABLE branch, although during the transition from one major development line to another (such as from FreeBSD 5.x to 6.x), there is a time span in which there are two -STABLE branches. The -STABLE branch tags have names like RELENG_6. The corresponding builds have names like FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE. * Each FreeBSD Release has an associated Security Branch. The Security Branch tags have names like RELENG_6_1. The corresponding builds have names like FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p1. Isses affecting the FreeBSD Ports Collection are covered in the FreeBSD VuXML document. Each branch is supported by the Security Officer for a limited time only, and is designated as one of `Early adopter', `Normal', or `Extended'. The designation is used as a guideline for determining the lifetime of the branch as follows. Early adopter Releases which are published from the -CURRENT branch will be supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 6 months after the release. Normal Releases which are published from a -STABLE branch will be supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 12 months after the release. Extended Selected releases will be supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 24 months after the release. The current designation and estimated lifetimes of the currently supported branches are given below. The Estimated EoL (end-of-life) column gives the earliest date on which that branch is likely to be dropped. Please note that these dates may be extended into the future, but only extenuating circumstances would lead to a branch's support being dropped earlier than the date listed. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Branch | Release | Type | Release date | Estimated EoL | |-----------+-----------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_6 |n/a |n/a |n/a |January 31, 2010 | |-----------+-----------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_6_3 |6.3-RELEASE|Extended|January 18, 2008 |January 31, 2010 | |-----------+-----------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+-----------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_0 |7.0-RELEASE|Normal |February 27, 2008|February 28, 2009| +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ [End excerpt] Colin Percival FreeBSD Security Officer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkhEe5MACgkQFdaIBMps37IXoQCbB3RkY/s2CA+o/OFkuC/1YvUV rY8An1JawL1x8DdUOlVUL0b2+9N4XZ2v =X+Zm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jun 4 08:23:12 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 08ACF1065670 for ; Wed, 4 Jun 2008 08:23:12 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from peter@wemm.org) Received: from an-out-0708.google.com (an-out-0708.google.com [209.85.132.251]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C1BDB8FC22 for ; Wed, 4 Jun 2008 08:23:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from peter@wemm.org) Received: by an-out-0708.google.com with SMTP id b33so1109621ana.13 for ; Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:23:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.100.41.9 with SMTP id o9mr19511185ano.42.1212566051618; Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:54:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.100.154.11 with HTTP; Wed, 4 Jun 2008 00:54:11 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 00:54:11 -0700 From: "Peter Wemm" To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Mailman-Approved-At: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:24:11 +0000 Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD.org begins switch to Subversion X-BeenThere: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: "Project Announcements \[moderated\]" List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:23:12 -0000 The FreeBSD Project has begun the switch of its source code management system from CVS to Subversion. At this point in time, FreeBSD's developers are making changes to the base system in the Subversion repository. There is a replication system in place that exports our work to the legacy CVS tree on a continuous basis. People who are using our extensive CVS based distribution network (including anoncvs, CVSup, csup, cvsweb, ftp) will not be interrupted by our work-in-progress. You do not need to change anything if you do not wish to. We are committed to maintaining the existing CVS based distribution system for *at least* the support lifetime of all existing "stable" branches. Security and errata patches will continue to be made available in their usual CVS locations. The rest of the FreeBSD-6 and FreeBSD-7 releases will be built and released from the CVS tree. We expect to make our Subversion based source tree and other supporting infrastructure public very soon. There will be new mailing lists to subscribe to if you wish to receive Subversion commit notifications. Our ports, doc and www trees are not affected at this time. A separate decision will be made regarding the direction of those CVS repositories soon. Many people have contributed to the effort, but I particularly wish to thank Michael Haggerty and the cvs2svn project developers for their assistance with extracting and decrypting our 14 years of CVS history. Yahoo (my employer) donated server hardware and allowed me to spend a considerable amount of time on the preparation, assembling the infrastructure, and the conversion. -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell From owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jun 5 09:07:53 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9B10D1065678 for ; Thu, 5 Jun 2008 09:07:53 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from philip@paeps.cx) Received: from gateway.nixsys.be (gateway.nixsys.be [IPv6:2001:6f8:32f::42]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 33F948FC1F for ; Thu, 5 Jun 2008 09:07:53 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from philip@paeps.cx) Received: from detritus.home.paeps.cx (detritus.home.paeps.cx [IPv6:2001:6f8:32f:10::4]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (Client CN "detritus.home.paeps.cx", Issuer "NixSys CA" (verified OK)) by gateway.nixsys.be (Postfix) with ESMTP id 65A0140D8; Thu, 5 Jun 2008 11:07:52 +0200 (CEST) Received: from carrot.home.paeps.cx (carrot.home.paeps.cx [IPv6:2001:6f8:32f:10::2]) by detritus.home.paeps.cx (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1878F205A; Thu, 5 Jun 2008 11:07:51 +0200 (CEST) Received: from carrot.home.paeps.cx (philip@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by carrot.home.paeps.cx (8.14.2/8.14.2) with ESMTP id m5597o93064384; Thu, 5 Jun 2008 11:07:50 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from philip@carrot.home.paeps.cx) Received: (from philip@localhost) by carrot.home.paeps.cx (8.14.2/8.14.2/Submit) id m5597n20064383; Thu, 5 Jun 2008 11:07:49 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from philip) Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 11:07:48 +0200 From: Philip Paeps To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org, netbsd-announce@netbsd.org, announce@openbsd.org Message-ID: <20080605090748.GS810@carrot.home.paeps.cx> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org, netbsd-announce@netbsd.org, announce@openbsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="bWEb1MG/o7IKOlQF" Content-Disposition: inline X-PGP-Fingerprint: 356B AE02 4763 F739 2FA2 E438 2649 E628 C5D3 4D05 X-Date: Today is Sweetmorn, the 10th day of Confusion in the YOLD 3174 X-Date-in-France: Octidi 18 Prairial CCXVI, jour du pavot X-Date-in-Rome: Nonas Iunias MMDCCLXI ab Urbe Condida X-Phase-of-Moon: The Moon is Waxing Crescent (4% of Full) X-Message-Flag: Get a proper mailclient!
