Hi John

Per platform policy<http://named-data.net/codebase/platform/documentation/ndn-platform-development-guidelines/#Build_support>, NDN projects are required to support the latest and previous Ubuntu LTS releases.
As soon as Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is released, Ubuntu 12.04 would fall out of this range and become unsupported.
Per Ubuntu 16.04 release schedule<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule>, the exact date is Apr 21, 2016.

Nodes not yet upgraded to 14.04 or later can continue to run 0.4.1. Wire formats are compatible.

Yours, Junxiao

All:

Is there a schedule for exactly when support for Ubuntu 12.04 will be dropped?
The reason I ask is that most of the NDN Testbed still runs 12.04.
It will be a major effort to get all nodes upgraded and it will undoubtedly
cause a lot of disruption.

John
