We need to begin to able to prune various issues that are: * stale * unreproduceable * will not fix * others As such, some sort of statement and somewhat policy leaning documentation would be helpful. As suggested in the review comments, ISSUE-EOL-POLICY.md was combined with this document. No links in our repository exist for this. Signed-off-by: Brent Baude <bbaude@redhat.com>

Upstream support of Podman
This Github repository is for the upstream development of Podman and the latest version of Podman.
The term "latest version" refers to our mainline development tree or the latest release.
Expectations on support
The Podman maintainers provide a "best effort" for the support of Podman. If are using Podman from a Linux distribution, please use the Linux distribution's mechanism as support unless you are willing to reproduce problems on the main branch of our upstream code.
Operating System and Hardware
Podman is run on a bevy of operating systems and hardware. Upstream development cannot possibly support all the combinations and custom environments of our users.
All pull requests (new code) to Podman go through automated testing on the following combinations:
Native Podman
| Architecture | Operating System | Distribution |
|---|---|---|
| x86_64 | Linux | Debian (latest) |
| x86_64 | Linux | Fedora (latest) |
| ARM64 | Linux | Fedora (latest) |
Podman Machine
| Architecture | Operating System | Machine Provider |
|---|---|---|
| x86_64 | Windows 2022 | WSL |
| x86_64 | Windows 2022 | HyperV |
| ARM64 | MacOS | AppleHV |
| ARM64 | MacOS | Libkrun |
For Linux, we test the latest versions of Fedora and Debian.
Operating systems and hardware outside our automated testing is considered "best effort". In many cases, we are unable to test, triage, and develop for combinations outside what our automated testing covers. For example, Podman on Intel-based Macs.
