Dear Saul,
Thank you for your feedback.
We recently updated most of the packages in UbuntuGIS Unstable to their
latest versions.
This update included MapServer 7.0.1.
Since MapServer packaging was first done for Ubuntu Xenial,
mapscript-php support was dropped due to this issue:
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5252
Then we forgot to turn mapscript-php support back on for Trusty, since
PHP5 is still available there.
The libgdal1h package you refer to, is the upstream version provided by
Ubuntu.
UbuntuGIS now has GDAL 2.1.0 (libgdal20).
We will re-enable mapscript-php support soon.
Best,
Angelos

Hello ubuntugis!
It appears to me that ubuntugis-unstable does *not* provide a
*php5-mapscript* package for trusty. That package looks to only be
published in the trusty/universe repository:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/php5-mapscript
ubuntugis-unstable provides *perl, java, python and ruby* bindings,
but not php. Is this intentional, or an oversight?
I would*love* to see an ubuntugis-unstable provided php5-mapscript
package. Is there something I can do to keep them available?
Completely separately, it looks like ubuntugis-unstable is providing
an out-of-date dependency for libgdal1h, which (when
ubuntugis-unstable is added as a repo) breaks the install of the
trusty/universe *php5-mapscript* package.

libgdal1h:

Packages
To see this issue, try the following:
1. Start from a "fresh" ubuntu 14.04 install
2. Add the ubuntugis-unstable repo
3. *$ **apt-get update && apt-get install php5-mapscript*
To see the underlying issue, you can also do:
3a. *$ apt-get update && apt-get install libgdal1h*
Is the provided *libgdal1h* package intentional? I can't find mention
of that package being published here:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-unstable/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=trusty
Again, is there anything I can do to convince you to provide
php5-mapscript packages in ubuntugis-unstable?
Take care,
--saul
