When the release has reached its EOL date:

  • postmarketos-base-ui: let it depend on postmarketos-release-upgrade-notification and bump pkgrel
    • ensure it builds locally with pmbootstrap
    • push it to the branch
    • make sure bpo built and released the updated packages
  • drop the old release from monitoring
  • drop the "oldold -> old" release check from postmarketos-release-upgrade CI
  • bpo: configure images so they don't get built for the old release anymore
  • bpo: configure branches so we don't try to build packages for old branches anymore
    • e.g. on startup all branches are checked for new packages, we should keep the amount of branches that get checked minimal
  • pmaports.git channels.cfg: change description:
    • "Old release (unsupported)"
  • Update the Releases page
    • Move the release from active to old
  • Consider removing images for the previous releases to save disk space (people can build their own images with pmbootstrap if needed)
