Shortcut:
RSOP:EOL

Description

Each release of Fedora is maintained as laid out in the maintenance schedule. At the conclusion of the maintenance period, a Fedora release enters end of life status. This procedure describes the tasks necessary to move a release to that status.

Actions

Set date

  • Releng responsibilities:
    • Follow guidelines of maintenance schedule
    • Take into account any infrastructure or other supporting project resource contention
    • Announce the closure of the release to the package maintainers.

Reminder announcement

  • from rel-eng to f-devel-announce, f-announce-l, including
    • date of last update push (if needed)
    • date of actual EOL

Koji tasks

  • disable builds by removing targets
koji remove-target f19
koji remove-target f19-updates-candidate
  • Purge from disk the signed copies of rpms that are signed with the EOL'd release key

Bodhi tasks

  • In puppet, set the push scripts to not push the old release:
diff --git a/configs/system/fedora-updates-push
b/configs/system/fedora-updates-push
index 2c05334..39e25f7 100755

  • Remove all updates and comments associated with the release

PackageDB

Set the release to be End of Life in the PackageDB. A admin can login and do this from the web interface.
