Hi, As per the discussion on the weekly conference call today, this is notice (a proposal?) that the NFS-Ganesha 2.5 branch will reach End-Of-Life on 2018-12-31 and no further maintenance activities by the project will occur; e.g. no patches will be merged, or back-ported from later branches, no tags will be made in the git repo, no community packages will be built, etc. This is independent of any downstream maintenance that vendors may need to do for their products. They may have to carry Downstream-Only patches for the remaining life of their products. People who want to use supported software should plan to update to the NFS-Ganesha-2.6 stable release, or the NFS-Ganesha-2.7 active development branch. If you have any questions please post them to the devel mailing list at devel@lists.nfs-ganesha.org Thanks, -- Kaleb
