According to the last events regarding HPPA architecture [1][2], the |
| 4 |
Security Team has decided to drop HPPA from the Security Supported List |
| 5 |
in the Vulnerability Treatment Policy[3]. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This announce begins the official process of removal, we expect the |
| 8 |
update from the website in the following days. We won't be releasing a |
| 9 |
second announce once the website is updated, so we encourage developers |
| 10 |
and users relying on the HPPA architecture to take the required |
| 11 |
precautions as soon as possible. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The consequences of the removal of security supported architecture |
| 14 |
include (i) GLSA will be released before a version of a package is |
| 15 |
necessarily stable for the architecture (ii) architecture-specific |
| 16 |
issues will not be investigated directly by the security team. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
In addition to this announcement, glsa-check will be updated to present |
| 19 |
necessary information for HPPA users. As most security issues are cross- |
| 20 |
architecture, glsa-check will continue to be operational for HPPA based |
| 21 |
on generic GLSAs for other architectures. |
