Updates After End of Life

Updates After End of Life is a volunteer based project which aim is to maintain packages after Fedora End of Life selected on a volunteer basis. A package is available if there is a volunteer to maintain it. A volunteer may stop maintaining a package, in which case it will be removed from the list. A whole branch is discontinued when one of the packages that defines a minimal fedora system isn't maintained anymore (a minimal system is defined as a system with default and mandatory packages from Core and Base comps groups, plus the kernel). The maintained branches are listed below.

The rule for updating packages in this project is not well formalized and mostly left to the package maintainers. We avoid breaking compatibility or doing rebuilds for futile reasons, but we don't promise ABI stability either. It can be thought as a middle ground between Fedora rate of change and RHEL/Centos/EPEL rate of change.

In case it still wasn't clear from above, it is a volunteer based project, so there is no guarantee on the lifetime of a branch, a package to be maintained nor on the rate of package updates.

There is no dedicated security team for the project, timely response is left to the maintainers.

Currently maintained branches

The maintained packages lists for each branch is linked from here:

F-12

mandatory packages that needs to find a new maintainer or the branch disappears may be repeated here with the count in days.

F-10

F-10 branch

this will be on a separate page, one for each maintained release.

Mandatory packages

If one of these packages isn't maintained anymore, the whole branch is retired after 1 week.
