Release Support Policy Update

 

Hello,
the new Ubuntu release (9.04 Jaunty) will be available on the next days so
it's time to update the support policy for the next cycle.
The current policy of supporting the current plus the LTS version had a very
positive result, there are clearly two main segments of users: the "current"
users which always prefer the current version and the "LTS" users which like
to update their packages but keeping an LTS kernel/core tools.
We will keep the current policy, for the next 6 months we will be providing
packages mainly for Jaunty and supporting Hardy in a best effort basis.

Effectively today Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid is set "Available", the archive will
be kept online but no updates will be applied.
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty was configured on the database as "Supported",
applications releases will be available on the next days.

Best regards,
