It's almost a year since the last comment... Any news on this? I've only recently noticed that "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported | grep php7" shows php7.0-fpm (and other PHP packages) as unsupported in 16.04 LTS:
> php-zip php7.0-fpm php7.0-imap php7.0-intl php7.0-mbstring php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-xsl php7.0-zip I did not find any other usable information on this topic beside this bug report. Most people probably don't even know about this problem. It's easy to overlook though, since the "php7.0" meta-package is in main and "apt-cache show php7.0" shows it as fully supported: > Package: php7.0 > Priority: optional > Section: php [...] > Depends: php7.0-fpm | libapache2-mod-php7.0 | php7.0-cgi, php7.0-common [...] > Supported: 5y And, what's even more confusing, it also depends on "php7.0-fpm". Imo, most people who see this will think: "OK, PHP7 has 5 year support, so I'm safe with my Ubuntu LTS". But in fact, they are not... at least if they use FPM (what they probably do). Like most people here, I think that php7-fpm should definitely be supported for the full LTS period, because it's a basic component of most web servers. How is the chance that is will be the case in the next LTS version? BTW: this bug report is slightly related, because it deals with the problem of the different support timespans in LTS and the bad image Ubuntu LTS has because of it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /update-manager/+bug/1574670 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267255 Title: [MIR] php7.0 (php7.0-fpm binary) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1267255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
