Drop unnecessary latest column from distros without point releases.

The differentiation between the "released" and "latest" columns doesn't really make sens here imo. Fedora gets updated all the time but there are no minor/patch versions. In all but two cases the dates are the same anyway, in those two cases I think one date is wrong.

The Fairphone page for example does not have the "latest" column and the links to each release are in the first column. I'd prefer that for Fedora, too. It would avoid duplication of data and give users a better overview.

What do you think about this? I'm happy to help with changing the yaml data but I wanted to get some feedback first. Is there something in automation which we'd need to take in consideration or which would need to be changed? (I haven't really seen or understood how the automation works around here.)

Sounds good to me. The link will automatically switch to the Release Cycle. You just need to set releaseColumn: false. https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/edit/master/products/mageia.md is probably the simplest page you can use for reference that looks similar: https://endoflife.date/mageia

I had a quick look through all the linux-distros and this seems to apply to a few more distros, where no point releases are made:

• https://endoflife.date/centos-stream
• https://endoflife.date/linuxmint
• https://endoflife.date/antix (Needs correction in 21/22 row as well)

Thanks for the input, sounds good to me. Would you like to create a PR for all four at once? I feel only confident to change Fedora and maybe CentOS, those are the distros I'm familiar with.

Here is a PR fixing the mismatched release dates for Fedora:

• [fedora] Fix releaseDate for F37 and F39 #6709

When disabling the "releaseColumn", should the "latestReleaseDate" entries also be removed for each cycle? All they contain is redundant data.

Edit: Yes, they need to be removed together with the "latest" keys, see the PRs

Created PRs for Fedora and CentOS:

• [centos-stream] disable redundant releaseColumn #6710
• [fedora] disable redundant releaseColumn #6714
