Subject: RFC: Yocto LTS?
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:28:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <561E588D.5060609@2net.co.uk> (raw)

Hi,

Is there a statement about the period of support for a Yocto release?
Looking through the updates, it seems that 12 months is typical, a was
the case for 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 for example, but I cannot see a
declaration anywhere that this is the expected norm.

Leading on from that, is 12 months enough? Most projects have a
lifecycle that is much longer. Is there an argument for an LTS Yocto
release, maybe once a year? If not, what is the recommended way for a
project developer to keep a distribution up to date in the light of the
several well-publicised security flaws that have been discovered over
the last year or so and the new ones that will no doubt be discovered in
the future?

Regards,
Chris Simmonds
