While we have many plans for active support of the most recent (6.x) and next most recent (5.x) release branches, 4.x is coming to the end of its supported life. As of November 17, one month after the 6.0 release, the following branches will no longer be maintained: * netbsd-4-0 * netbsd-4 This means: * There will be no more pullups to the branches (even for security issues) * There will be no security advisoriesany of the 4.x releases * The existing 4.x releases on ftp.NetBSD.org will be moved into /pub/ NetBSD-archive/ We are giving these remaining few weeks of support to give people time to migrate their machines to the newer release. We may choose to issue security advisories and/or release patches if a security issue should arise before November 17. Here's hoping NetBSD 6 serves you as well as, or preferably better than, NetBSD 4 did! - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
