Pardus Release Support Lifecycle
The support lifecycle for Pardus operating system releases consists of two phases:
Normal Support
During this period, the relevant Pardus release receives feature updates, bug fixes, and security patches.
Security Updates Only
This phase begins after the end of the normal support period. During this time, only critical security updates are provided; no new features or functionality are added.
Once the security updates period ends, the release is considered End of Life (EOL).

| Pardus 27 | 2027 (Based on Debian 14) | 2031.06.01 | 2032.06.30 |
| Pardus 29 | 2029 (Based on Debian 15) | 2033.06.01 | 2034.06.30 |

It is recommended that systems used in enterprise environments operate on Pardus releases that are within the Normal Support period or, at the latest, within the Security Updates Only period.
No security updates are provided for Pardus releases that have reached End of Life (EOL), and continued use of these releases poses a security risk.
For releases whose support period has ended, migration planning to a newer Pardus release should be carried out.
