Package support and usage thresholds
Refer to the following sections for details about support and usage thresholds.
Support threshold
Progress Chef supports packages that aren’t dependencies for its tools under these conditions:
- There isn’t a published end-of-life (EOL) date within the first two years of the LTS-YYYY support duration at the time of consideration. If the OEM drops support or doesn’t fix known vulnerabilities during the LTS timeframe, no updates will be provided.
- There aren’t any open high or critical CVEs for the package at the time of consideration. If a released package has a critical or high CVE post-release, it will be fixed in the next minor or directed refresh.
- The package has a valid licensing model that allows Progress Chef to distribute it as a Habitat package.
Usage threshold
Requested packages are added to a support backlog and prioritized if they meet one of these criteria:
- It’s for a commonly used development tool or programming language.
- It’s for high-demand commercial off-the-shelf software.
