Public bug reported: The just released Ubuntu 22.04 ships with wordpress 5.8.3 which is already outdated as 5.8.4 was released addressing 1 bug and 3 security problems, see https://wordpress.org/support/wordpress- version/version-5-8-4/#maintenance-updates
It seems that nobody from the community has stepped up to take care of maintaining the packaged version of Wordpress. Having it in unmaintained in the Ubuntu archives is putting unsuspecting users at risk because they are deploying vulnerable software. I believe users would be better served with a manually installed Wordpress following upstream instructions rather than use the unmaintained version shipped with Ubuntu. As such, it would be nice to remove the package from the archives. ** Affects: wordpress (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970440 Title: wordpress should be removed from the archives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wordpress/+bug/1970440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
