I was writing a script and needed a list of all currently supported versions of Ubuntu.

If any of you guys know of either a downloadable files which contains all versions with dates or a simple list of all currently supported versions. That would be great. Obviously they would have to be locations where Canonical keeps them up to date so the scripts continue to work into the future.

And it should be something which works on older versions of Ubuntu, say any supported version (lucid+) etc.

You can use launchpadlib to do this. For example, in python:

#!/usr/bin/env python



from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad



lp = Launchpad.login_anonymously('series-support-check')

for series in lp.projects['ubuntu'].series:

    print series.name, series.supported

For more info about the launchpad API, check out the web services API help or the API reference.
