Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 has reached its end of life today, March 31, 2017. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata. If you haven’t done so yet, update to the later versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
In line with this, BigFix Patch is no longer providing RHEL 5 content and will end its support in July 2017. Consequently, the Patches for RHEL 5 – Native tools site will be deprecated in July 2017. The site will have ‘Deprecated’ appended to the site name in the License Overview dashboard. For the earlier BigFix
announcement related to the RHEL 5 EOL, see http://bit.ly/2lHdssx and http://bit.ly/2nWgWLV.
