PHP 55.17 and 5.5.18 missing in IUS repo

Asked by Christoph Perner

Hi,

I want to ask, why newer release of php (5.5.17+) are currently missing in the IUS repo.
I know that there are two weeks until new packages leave the testing stage and come into the stable repo.
But currently i cannot find any newer php packages as 5.5.16-2 in all the repos (development, testing, stable)
PHP 5.5.17 was released on 18 Sep 2014 and PHP 5.5.18 was released yesterday.
Is there any reason for these newer releases to be not added to the IUS repo,
or did a miss any point when i was looking for it?

Chris

Howdy Chris,

PHP 5.5.17 introduced a serious regression in SSL. We were advised by a PHP developer to skip that release if at all possible, so we did. We are in the process of building 5.5.18.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your fast response.
Sorry for the question regarding something that was already in a bug ticket,
but I was able to find the ticket with the search function.
now found out that I can find it using the search on the bottom and using the keywords "php 5.5.17 ius".
Is there a better way to find such open tickets or is there a option to search only the ius project in launchpad?

Chris

Also, 5.5.18 is finished building and will hit the testing repos tonight.
