The design team wrote a page now here: http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife
If a users runs a unsupported version of ubuntu this link will be displayed as part of the message in the MOTD and as a linkbutton in update-manager and check-release-upgrade-gtk (see comment #5). The user will be nagged about the unsupportedness of his system every 48h (this is the interval at which check-release-uprade-gtk is run). For the case if the user runs a unsupported version of ubuntu *and* he can only upgrade to a unsupported version (e.g. interpid -> jaunty) I updated the meta-release file on changelogs.ubuntu.com. Not the release announcemens text that is displayed at the upgrade upgrade will be http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/EOLReleaseAnnouncement (I also updated the EOLchecklist to add this bit). This should cover everything, I close this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/671016 Title: EOL needs to be handled more elegantly -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
