End of Life for 4.x on November 17

October 27, 2012 posted by Jeff Rizzo

With the release of NetBSD 6.0, we bid a fond farewell to older
releases, the NetBSD 4.x series. 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/NetBSDarchive/



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!
