Subject: EOL for 2.0
Date: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 - 11:31 pm

In keeping with NetBSD's policy of maintaining only the current (4.0)

and

most recent (3.0) release branches, the release of NetBSD 4.0 marked the

end-of-life for the NetBSD 2.0 family of releases.


This means that the following branches will no longer be actively

maintained:


netbsd-2

netbsd-2-0

netbsd-2-1


For example:


- There will be no more pullups to the branches (even for security

issues)

- There will be no security advisories made for any of the 2.x related

releases

- The current 2.x based releases on ftp.netbsd.org will be moved into

    /pub/NetBSD-archive


We strongly suggest migrating to a later supported release such as the

netbsd-3 or

netbsd-4 branches.


James
