Re: [Nix-dev] Documentation about releases?
Thanks for the link. Based on the item "announce EOL of previous releases", I guess that means release-14.12 is the only one we're maintaining.

Re: [Nix-dev] Documentation about releases?
One option would be to add a RELEASE.txt to nixpkgs - and everything would be fine. This would be like the .topmsg file (topgit) which talks about what a branch is about. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

[Nix-dev] Documentation about releases?
Is there any page that lists the NixOS releases, and says something about the release process? The only list I was able to find is the table of contents of the NixOS manual, under "Release Notes". The specific question that sent me on this hunt: how long do we provide support? People seem to be backporting security fixes to just 14.12 and not 14.04 or 13.10; it would be good to have this written down somewhere.
