Why is Ubuntu 22.04 being dropped? Similarly, Why is there no Rocky 9? On 3/19/25 3:13 AM, Ben Gamari via ghc-releases wrote:
Hi all,
For the last several releases GHC has distributed binary distributions for a largely-static set of Linux distributions, many quite old:
| Distribution | End-of-life | Supported | | ------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | | Fedora 33 | Nov 2021 | no | | Fedora 38 | May 2024 | no | | Alpine 3.12 | May 2022 | no | | Alpine 3.18 | Apr 2025 | | | Alpine 3.20 | Apr 2026 | | | Debian 9 | Jul 2022 | no | | Debian 10 | Jun 2024 | no | | Debian 11 | Aug 2026 | | | Rocky 8 | May 2029 | | | Ubuntu 18.04 | May 2023 | no | | Ubuntu 20.04 | May 2025 | no | | Ubuntu 22.04 | Apr 2027 | |
In #25876 I preliminarily propose that we whittle this down to the following, more up-to-date set for 9.14.1:
| Distribution | End-of-life | | ------------------- | ------------ | | Fedora 41 | Nov 2025 | | Alpine 3.20 | Apr 2026 | | Debian 11 | Aug 2026 | | Debian 12 | Jun 2028 | | Rocky 8 | May 2029 | | Ubuntu 24.04 | Apr 2029 |
If you have thoughts about this do let us know either via this list or on the ticket.
Cheers,
- Ben
