Just a few ideas I had, reading the discussion about how to inform users that
the distribution has been moved to legacy status.
One could do one or more of the following:
- Make a new "firstboot" that could inform the user of any potential
consequences of the change - and maybe a friendly, helpful description
on how to upgrade.
- This could even be advanced enough to give the user a "upgrade
now"-button, downloading an initrd containing something similar to
"boot.iso", adding a new default entry to grub.conf, and rebooting.
(Ok, I realize this is maybe a bit beyond what is possible right
now, but it _could_ be done).
- Change the startup-page of mozilla/firefox (for all of us who never
get around to change the default "Fedora Core X release notes" page
anyway). And even add links to dowloads of a newer release.
- Change the gdm login-screen, and add a message that the user should
consider an upgrade.
- Add a /etc/motd so also the admins of remote systems - only logging in
with ssh will get the message
Rgds.
