- <p>Previously, branches were designated as either <em>Normal</em> or
- <em>Extended</em>. The designation was used as a guideline for
- determining the lifetime of the branch as follows:</p>
-
- <dl>
- <dt>Normal</dt>
- <dd>Releases which are published from a -STABLE branch were
- supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 12 months
- after the release, and for sufficient additional time (if
- needed) to ensure that there is a newer release for at least
- 3 months before the older Normal release expires.
- </dd>
- <dt>Extended</dt>
- <dd>Selected releases (normally every second release plus the last
- release from each -STABLE branch) were supported by the Security
- Officer for a minimum of 24 months after the release, and for
- sufficient additional time (if needed) to ensure that there is
- a newer Extended release for at least 3 months before the older
- Extended release expires.
