Indeed. A few weeks ago it didn't have the exact date.

Looking at previous EOL on 11.* branch it seems you're right. However,
11.0 EOL was extended by 1 month while 11.1 EOL was already close to the
end of the month. Hardly enough to establish the tradition.

Why did secteam@ wait 3 months to establish exact EOL date? Such
unpredictability hurts planning. For one, port maintainers need plannig
when to remove their 11.2 jails because pre-commit QA doesn't exist
outside of private resources of maintainers/committers.

[HEADS UP] Binary packages for FreeBSD 11 to require 11.3 soon

2019-10-09 Thread Jan Beich
FreeBSD 11.3 was released on 2019-07-09. After adding 3 months support
overlap it'd be 2019-10-09 (yesterday). Given 11.2 is EOL the package
cluster will upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 [*] while the ports tree would
adjust ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM knob and drop 11.2-specific workarouds.
Once packages for 11.3 are built (from 2 to 4 days + few hours to mirror)
/quarterly and /latest won't be usable on 11.2 anymore. /release_2 from
2018-06-05 should still work.

So, upgrade to FreeBSD 11.3 or backup 11.2 packages. If you're on
FreeBSD 11.3 already beware some packages may disappear due to broken
build e.g., from base Clang/libc++ 8 upgrade.

[*] Look for 113amd64 and 113i386 jails on https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/
May not be visible until build starts e.g., on Tue/Thu/Sat at 01:00 UTC.
