"support" is a property of the product committments made around the OS, that cannot definitively be known at the time of the GA release. Encoding it in a file in the OS therefore carries an implicit obligation to update that file whenever changes are made to the support committments. This does not sound like something we want (in addition to already having to update distro-info-data). Why is it valuable for systemd to set this taint flag? We already have Ubuntu-native mechanisms for notifying users they are out of support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1995405 Title: Add SUPPORT_END to os-release Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: There is a new suggested field to the os-release file: SUPPORT_END=YYYY-MM-DD If it is set, systemd 252 apparently sets a "support-ended" taint flag once that date has been reached. https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/os-release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1995405/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
