 @adam:robins.wtf | i'm unfamiliar with the perl lifecycle, but it looks like that gives us until 2025 for 5.36? | 17:06:09 |
| @adam:robins.wtf |
To the best of our ability, we will provide "critical" security patches / releases for any major version of Perl whose 5.x.0 release was within the past three years
| 17:07:47 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | and perl 5.36 was released May 28th 2022 | 17:08:01 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | or do we drop releases earlier than upstream stops security patching? | 17:08:25 |
 stigo | A new version of Perl5 is released roughly every year or so, and in nixpkgs we keep the two currently maintained versions. | 17:09:03 |
| stigo | Which today are 5.36 and 5.38 | 17:11:27 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | so 5.36 will be good until roughly may-july next year (depending on release date) | 17:12:09 |
| stigo | Yeah basically | 17:13:09 |
