Pardus 2007 : End of Life

Pardus 2007, which was released on 18 December 2006 and has been updated for 
over two years, is freezing it's stable repositories.

Since the release of Pardus 2008, developers' and users' interest and work 
force has been shifted greatly towards 2008 and now to 2009 also - so for a 
few months, binary repositories of Pardus 2007 gets only critical updates. 
With the release of Pardus 2008.2, the second minor update after Pardus 2008, 
we've decided it was time to announce and mark Pardus 2007 repositories 
security-only : 

- For the following two months, our security team will continue to update 
critical securtiy fixes and the Pardus 2007 stable repository will get these 
updates. 

- on 27 March 2009, all binary and source repositories of Pardus 2007 will be 
locked, and we'll announce End of Life for Pardus 2007. [*]

As the members of Pardus 2007 stable team, we'd like thank all our developers 
and users for their valuable effort in making Pardus 2007 a great product. 
Without this continuous effort, Pardus 2007 would not be the half of what is 
it is today - thanks again..

[*] After 27th of March, we'll continue to serve the last state of Padrus 2007 
stable repository, but 2007 buildfarm and 2007-test repository will be closed 
and pardus-2007 source respository will be frozen by the mentioned date.
