I’ve been slowly embracing the mantra “only use unmaintained software”: maintenance is great when it’s fixing bugs and such, but eventually people insist on breaking backwards compatibility.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoThat is a captivating idea!
- kafkaIncarnate 5y agoPython2.7 is still maintained. If you mean my software I mentioned if something breaks I'm still required to fix it. I just doubt that will happen at this point and have other tasks to do.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoIsn’t Python 2.7 EOL as of January 2020 or something? It’s maintained in the sense that there are still people shipping patches, but the core Python developers no longer maintain it.
- kafkaIncarnate 5y agoThat is news to me, and good to know. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/python-27-reaches-end-of-life-after-20-years-of-development/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/python-27-rea... Apparently RHEL will maintain any security problems until 2024, but yeah it's pretty much dead. Huh. Not sure how to react to that.
