How long will CentOS-4 updates be supported?
We intend to support CentOS-4 updates until Feb 29, 2012.
The current plan is this:
Full Updates (including hardware updates): Currently to Feb 29, 2008
Maintenance Updates: Mar 1, 2008 to Feb 29, 2012
Full Updates - During the Full Updates phase, new hardware support will be provided at the discretion of CentOS via Update Sets. Additionally, all available and qualified errata will be provided via Update Sets (or individually {and immediately} for Security level errata.) Update Sets normally will be released 2-4 times per year, with new ISOs released as part of each Update Set. In the 4.x numbering scheme, the .x is the number of the Update Set.
Maintenance Updates - During the Maintenance updates phase, only Security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released. There will be few, if any, Update Sets released.
