This is a follow-up to the End of Life warning sent last month to
confirm that as of today (April 30, 2015), Ubuntu 10.04 is no longer
supported.  No more package updates will be accepted to 10.04, and
it will be archived to old-releases.ubuntu.com in the coming weeks.

The original End of Life warning follows, with upgrade instructions:

Ubuntu announced its 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) release almost 5 years ago,
on April 29, 2010.  As with the earlier LTS releases, Ubuntu committed
to ongoing security and critical fixes for a period of 5 years. The
support period is now nearing its end and Ubuntu 10.04 will reach end
of life on Thursday, April 30th.  At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices
will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 10.04.

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 10.04 is via Ubuntu 12.04.
Users are encouraged to evaluate and upgrade to our latest 14.04 LTS
release via 12.04.  Instructions and caveats for the upgrades may be
found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades and
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TrustyUpgrades.  Ubuntu 12.04 and
14.04 continue to be actively supported with security updates and
select high-impact bug fixes. All announcements of official security
updates for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce
mailing list, information about which may be found at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce.

Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most
highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,
schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open
Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to
customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.

On behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team,

Adam Conrad
