https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274197 --- Comment #6 from B.S. <bigsneaky@duck.com> --- Given feedback from Pau Amma on GitHub: > Looks good to me, but I think having the security officer(s) > look at it would be good. I don't know what their GitHub > usernames may be though, or even if they have any. I thought it would be better to close the pull request and post a patch here instead. The patch is slightly tweaked from my original GitHub PR. Suggested commit message is the comment above. The proposed text reads: > Each minor or dot-zero release is only supported for three months > after the next minor release within the same major version, or (for > the final minor release) until support for that major version's stable > branch ends. From FreeBSD 15 onward, each stable branch is explicitly > supported for 4 years from its dot-zero release. Support for the stable > branch of FreeBSD 13 ends on April 30, 2026, and for FreeBSD 14 on > November 30, 2028. > This model's rationale is detailed in the official announcements of > https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-announce/2024-July/000143.html > [the 4-year support period for stable branches], sent in July 2024, and > https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2015-February/001624.html > [the switch to a branch-based support model], sent in February 2015. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
