|
<p>Support of FreeBSD releases by ports and the ports infrastructure
|
|
matches the <a href="&base;/security/#sup">policies
|
|
set out by the FreeBSD Security Officer</a>. Once a major branch X
|
|
reaches its EOL date, the "last known good" ports tree will be tagged
|
|
with the <tt>RELEASE_X_EOL</tt> tag as a convenience to those
|
|
remaining users who intend to self-support their installations.
|
|
This tag is not supported in any way and security fixes will not be
|
|
applied. Usage is therefore highly discouraged and should only be
|
|
used as a last resort.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For all supported major src branches, all ports will be included in
|
|
an automated quality assurance procedure which will build, install,
|
|
package, and deinstall each port on all <a
|
|
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html#AEN1259">
|
|
Tier 1 platforms</a>. Maintainers and committers are notified of
|
|
failures detected during testing. Ports that are known not to build
|
|
or run on a given supported branch or platform will be marked as
|
|
such.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Prebuilt binary packages will also be provided for all major branches
|
|
and Tier 1 platforms and will be made available via anonymous FTP
|
|
from <a
|
|
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html">
|
|
a worldwide set of mirror sites</a>. Package builds will use the
|
|
oldest supported minor release within each major branch to ensure
|
|
ABI and KBI backwards compatibility within each major branch, and
|
|
support all minor versions of each major branch, including
|
|
<tt>-RELEASE</tt> and <tt>-STABLE</tt>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The current package sets and estimated lifetimes of the currently
|
|
supported branches are given below. The <em>Estimated EoL
|
|
(end-of-life)</em> column gives the earliest date on which that
|
|
branch is likely to be dropped.</p>
