From 3ba2e04ee7ee74d20a76536b195833caf227cc32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Mathewson Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 09:05:35 -0400 Subject: Minor tweaks on EOL process First, clarify that this is for planned deprecations, not security-related issues. Second, we actually _don't_ want to remove the versions from the approved list before the EOL date, or people will start getting warnings too early. --- doc/HACKING/EndOfLifeTor.md | 18 +++++++----------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/HACKING') diff --git a/doc/HACKING/EndOfLifeTor.md b/doc/HACKING/EndOfLifeTor.md index 36150bca6d..502b862fc9 100644 --- a/doc/HACKING/EndOfLifeTor.md +++ b/doc/HACKING/EndOfLifeTor.md @@ -3,7 +3,9 @@ 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: +series reaches End of Life.
