A Application Stream Life Cycle

While the core operating system packages in the BaseOS repository for Oracle Linux 8, Oracle Linux 9, and Oracle Linux 10 retain a standard Oracle Linux support life cycle, the separate AppStream packages have their own major version releases and might have shorter lifespans from 2 to 5 years.

Support for the AppStream packages is limited to package installation assistance only. Additional support for AppStream packages might be provided if references to these packages and their use are included in other official Oracle Linux documentation from Oracle. Critical security errata and select high-impact critical bug fixes are provided in the newer versions of AppStream packages.

See Oracle Linux: Product Life Cycle Information for more information on the Application Stream Life Cycle durations for Oracle Linux releases.
