There are probably still users of Ubuntu 8.04 (using old apt) and that will be supported for another few years, so maybe it's better not to limit download speed here. Instructions for adding repo to apt sources only need to be carried out once anyway, right? >> Cent OS 3 >> Debian Etch >> Fedora 11/12 >> openSUSE 11.0/11.1 >> Ubuntu 8.10 > Ubuntu 9.04 > VineLinux 4.2 > > Above have EOL reached. > >> (and maybe asianux 2) > > Not reached. > >> Do you plan to continue building kernels for these? > > At least, kernel patches are continued because I sometimes > accept inquiries about old versions. Maybe binary packages > for EOL reached versions should be built on demand. I would have thought it is unusual for users who value security (and use tomoyo) to be running an EOL distro that isn't receiving security updates. I suppose such cases do exist, but creating binary packages on demand is sufficient. Saves time/effort, and will also let us determine whether there are still users that use EOL distros. Maybe there are some users, but maybe there are none.
