From 1ed254c77157f4df90c8884f5f717536e626aa07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Percival Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 20:52:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify some EoL policies. In particular, we extend EoLs as needed to allow a few months between a new release coming out and an old release hitting its EoL. Add FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. --- en/security/security.sgml | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/en/security/security.sgml b/en/security/security.sgml index 8819b36a3a..49e9c2c594 100644 --- a/en/security/security.sgml +++ b/en/security/security.sgml @@ -1,12 +1,12 @@ - + %developers; ]> - + &header; @@ -208,10 +208,18 @@
