Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
After long discussion with the sparc team and other developers, the |
4 |
Security Team has decided to drop SPARC as a security supported |
5 |
architecture. This decision follows the council decision on 2016-12-11, |
6 |
"The council defers to the security team, but is supportive of dropping |
7 |
security support for sparc if it is unable to generally meet the |
8 |
security team timelines." |
9 |
|
10 |
The list of security supported architectures is maintained in the |
11 |
[Security Vulnerability Treatment Policy] |
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. |
17 |
|
18 |
In addition to this announcement, glsa-check will be updated to present |
19 |
necessary information for sparc users. As most security issues are |
20 |
cross-architecture, glsa-check will continue to be operational for sparc |
21 |
based on generic GLSAs for other architectures. |
