Ok. I see that its more complex as I thought. What a pity. I thought if it builds from source it can be packaged up to a deb also. But I didnt/dont know Debian/Ubuntu Build Chain and packaging and policies etc. So thanks @Nish and @Ondrej for your comments and looking into this ! -- You

@Phil, just as an FYI, it's not so trivial to do what you suggest. Building it from source is not the same as building it as a Debian package, and as Ondřej mentioned in c#7, it would actually end up needing to be a new source package. That's just not something that will be done for 14.04.

Hey Ondrej, I dont think so. Basically it pulls php-packages from here https://packagist.org/ and also knows which deps to pull via systems package manager. Its a dependency manager used by developers and usually you only have to run "composer install", lean back and you are set. I was able to

Phil, perhaps the composer script could be modified to print: aw. mongodb not found, install with 'apt-get install build-essential php5-dev pkg-config libpcre3-dev && pecl install mongodb' if on Ubuntu/Debian? (no experience in composer whatsoever, so it might not be possible to do so) -- You

It would be no problem at all to build it on/for trusty (with PHP5) as thats what I'm doing in my docker image. No, the Laravel Framework isnt a Ubuntu package. However one very very popular php package for using MongoDB with it, was based on the php5-mongo ubuntu package and since a short while,

+1 to everything Nish said here. You can also pre-built the extension elsewhere and just make the provisioning pull the pre-built .so. Ubuntu (and Debian) doesn't backports stuff to older releases. Especially when there's a dozen ways how to provision it (PECL, prebuilding, using my

@Phil, That's a lot of "shoulds" for a feature request :) 14.04 was created in 2014. As far as I can tell, php-mongodb did not exist then. As you pointed out, php-mongo was renamed to php-mongodb. Except that https://docs.mongodb.com/ecosystem/drivers/php/ does not clearly indicate it's a

I know there are PPAs for it. But as the (now legacy) driver http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/php5-mongo is available in universe, the new/current driver should also be so it can be required / installed by dependecy managers without having to add custom repos and without having to compile it from

You might also look at the packages available from Ondřej. It is a PPA, but has php-mongodb for PHP5 (it seems). https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Just a quick update, based upon SRU precedence, I don't think this is likely to occur. Nothing in Trusty itself needs php5-mongodb, it doesn't exist in Debian (afaict) and the way the packaging works (rather intentionally afaict), it is explicitly only designed to work with PHP7+. Finally, there

This seems like more of a feature request, as nothing in Trusty can possibly require php5-mongodb as-is. ** Changed in: php-mongodb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
