Confusing EOL boilerplate on pages about newer releases

Open lucasw opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Releases/Release-Jazzy-Jalisco.html is the first google search result for ros jazzy, but the top of the loaded page shows this:

You're reading the documentation for a version of ROS 2 that has reached its EOL (end-of-life), and is no longer officially supported. If you want up-to-date information, please have a look at Iron.

Jazzy Jalisco (codename ‘jazzy’; May, 2024) ...

ros_jazzy_foxy_eol

The message is referring to foxy of course, but the page is about jazzy, making it seem like it is EOL (despite not having been released yet)- if the EOL message clearly mentioned foxy instead of 'a version' it may help though would still be a little confusing.

I think this also boils over to other pages too like https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/The-ROS2-Project/Contributing/Contributing-To-ROS-2-Documentation.html#building-the-site-locally as this does not change with the distro but with changes in the websites codebase.
