-End of Life on an old release series
-------------------------------------
-
-Here are the steps that the maintainer should take when an old Tor release
-series reaches End of Life. Note that they are _only_ for entire series that
-have reached their planned EOL: they do not apply to security-related
-deprecations of individual versions.
-
-### 0. Preliminaries
-
-0. A few months before End of Life:
- Write a deprecation announcement.
- Send the announcement out with every new release announcement.
-
-1. A month before End of Life:
- Send the announcement to tor-announce, tor-talk, tor-relays, and the
- packagers.
-
-### 1. On the day
-
-1. Open tickets to remove the release from:
- - the jenkins builds
- - tor's Travis CI cron jobs
- - chutney's Travis CI tests (#)
- - stem's Travis CI tests (#)
-
-2. Close the milestone in Trac. To do this, go to Trac, log in,
- select "Admin" near the top of the screen, then select "Milestones" from
- the menu on the left. Click on the milestone for this version, and
- select the "Completed" checkbox. By convention, we select the date as
- the End of Life date.
-
-3. Replace NNN-backport with NNN-unreached-backport in all open trac tickets.
-
-4. If there are any remaining tickets in the milestone:
- - merge_ready tickets are for backports:
- - if there are no supported releases for the backport, close the ticket
- - if there is an earlier (LTS) release for the backport, move the ticket
- to that release
- - other tickets should be closed (if we won't fix them) or moved to a
- supported release (if we will fix them)
-
-5. Mail the end of life announcement to tor-announce, the packagers list,
- and tor-relays. The current list of packagers is in ReleasingTor.md.
-
-6. Ask at least two of weasel/arma/Sebastian to remove the old version
- number from their approved versions list.
-
-7. Update the CoreTorReleases wiki page.
