Hello,
from a freshly installed FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE I did a freebsd-update
to bring
it to the latest patch level.
After:
# freebsd-update fetch
I got this message:
WARNING: FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE is approaching its End-of-Life date.
It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to a newer
release within the next 2 months.
What does this exactly mean? Is the whole 9.0 Series approaching EOL,
or
does this only apply to the initial 9.0-RELEASE _AND NOT_ to e.g.
9.0-RELEASE-p3 ?
Where can I find more information on the planned lifecycles of the
current
and upcoming releases? Are there any?
Thanks & kind regards
Matthias
Its all on the website,
Current Release Information:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/
Release engineering Information:
http://www.freebsd.org/releng/
Next release information:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/schedule.html
Its running a touch behind (11-12-2012 was target release
announcement), but I am glad they prefer to do it right rather than on
time.
FreeBSD 9.0-RElEASE-p4 is actually current, but I believe the p4
doesn't show up unless you do a build world.
