openSUSE Leap 42.3 will be discontinued end of next month



This is the advance discontinuation notice for openSUSE Leap 42.3.

On June 30th 2019 the openSUSE Leap 42 release series will reach its
end of life, after 4 years of lifetime (42.1 was released in fall 2015).

openSUSE Leap 42.3 will receive no further maintenance or security
updates after that date.

It is recommended for openSUSE Leap users to upgrade to the recently
released openSUSE Leap 15.1.

Deployments with software that relies on Leap 42 technology and cannot
be moved to 15 right now may consider evaluating a (commercial) SUSE
Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 subscription and migrate the workload to SUSE
Linux Enterprise. With the upcoming SP5, SUSE Linux Enterprise 12
receives maintenance and support until 2027.

Ciao, Marcus, for SUSE Security and openSUSE Maintenance
