I remain deeply frustrated about wordpress remaining in Ubuntu. wordpress is a security risk if it is not updated. Installing the .deb package prevents it from being automatically updated. Because of a long- standing Ubuntu diff, someone needs to manually merge wordpress to get the updates from Debian. This hasn't been done this entire development cycle, meaning that the package is unsuitable even for use only in Ubuntu's development release.
Here's reporting about last week's security vulnerability fix: https://www.heise.de/en/news/WordPress-vulnerability-attacked-hours-after-patch-11466293.html WordPress receives frequent security fixes. Since previous comments suggested that I should follow the docs, I believe wordpress is "generally broken and unusable" in Ubuntu. It is only suitable for use in an environment that is not directly accessible to the Internet. "If it is generally broken and unusable -> file a bug, add a deadline, and if not acted upon, remove it." https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/maintainers/AA/aa-package-removal/#summarized-flow-of-a-removal-consideration My previous complaints about wordpress are at LP: #1970440 I'm reopening this bug since that bug was closed pointing here so it feels like it might be unwelcome for me to file a new bug. ** Changed in: wordpress (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2133938 Title: Remove asterisk/mediawiki/worpress from Ubuntu release as they are/get old To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/asterisk/+bug/2133938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
