Dear Scientific Linux CERN ia64 users.

Due to a low demand and very marginal usage of
ia64 architecture in Scientific Linux CERN users
community we would like to announce that we will stop
the support for it on the 31st of March 2010.

- No further Scientific Linux CERN 4 (SLC4) and
  Scientific Linux CERN 5 (SLC5) updates will be
  provided for ia64 platform after that date.

- No future versions of Scientific Linux CERN for
  ia64 will be released.

- Current versions of SLC for ia64 will be removed
  from our installation service.

  Existing ia64 SLC4/SLC5 CERN users are encouraged to
  migrate to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4/5 systems.
  Please contact [log in to unmask] if
  assistance with this migration process is needed.

  We would like to thank all ia64 users, especially
  the CERN Openlab members for the support, feedback
  and hardware supplied through the past years.
