Well, that's odd, but as you found in the related bug, also expected (with the older ubuntu-support-status command). > 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. What is "this" problem in this sentence?

It depends on a disjunction of three packages. As long as one of them is in main (in this case libapache2-mod-php7.0) there is no issue. > 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). What is "safe" and why are they not? Are you misunderstanding what ubuntu-support-status says? I'm very confused, because you already found the other bug that says the output is wrong. > 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.

Again, I think you're just misapprehending what is 'supported' (in that there is someone paying attention? -- I'm not sure what you expect, exactly) vs. what is in main? > 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 Basically, the bug you are reporting, as far as I can tell, is this one, not the one against PHP. It feelsl ike it overloads the term 'supported'. As far as I can tell, as that bug documents, `ubuntu-support-status` reflects the main/universe split, but in an unclear way. It's been fixed in 16.10+, I'm not sure why/if it will be backported to older releases as Bug #15746709 mentions. To be clear, regardless of what `ubuntu-support-status` says, it's not like php7.0-fpm is going to stop being available or bugs fixed (there aren't that many filed, afaict). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php7.0 in 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-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
