To be carried out by: Ubuntu Release Manager
Goals:
- Inform users of a supported Ubuntu release of its imminent end-of-life and corresponding termination of maintenance and support
30 days prior to end of life:
Send EndOfLifeAnnouncement to ubuntu-announce, ubuntu-security-announce
Notify Amber Graner to add news item to UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter
At end of life:
- Set release to OBSOLETE in Launchpad (work with LOSA)
update http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release and set the release to "Supported: 0" (mvo)
update the ReleaseNotesURI for the *previous* release in http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release so that it points to a EOL page, this informas the user that he is about to upgrade to a already EOL version of the distro (mvo)
update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for Canonical support.
Deactivate any milestones for the release. Look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/$releasename/+milestones
Archive the release on old-releases on antimony
- Move any images from cdimage.ubuntu.com to old-images and notify IS team for archival on antimony
Remove the release from the archive (work with LOSA) (crosscheck with OEM)
- Clear all packages from the partner repository for this release (work with release team) on cocoplum (crosscheck with OEM)
