Currently, all LTS versions of Ubuntu that are currently supported have a version of the NGINX Stable branch in the repositories. This was done initially so that we can provide a 'stable' and 'released without new features' type of branch we would be able to track. In the cycle before release, we kept it in line with NGINX Mainline because once NGINX Stable was cut from that Mainline branch, they'd have newer features that would otherwise have been unavailable if we had tracked Stable.
My assumption is we want to still do this type of behavior (that is, track Mainline branch) in interim releases. This lets the interim releases of Ubuntu work with newer features that NGINX introduces, allowing us to file bugs upstream as necessary with the Mainline builds or to debug issues as they arise in the packaging. However, because I am not sure if this is what we wish to do, I thought I'd reach out to the rest of the Server Team for your input. What do you think would be best, tracking NGINX Stable, or tracking NGINX Mainline, for the interim non-LTS releases? I'm leaning towards tracking Mainline in the interim releases, if there's no objection - it'll let users who want more cutting edge NGINX features to use those in the interim releases without having to force them to use the PPAs. ------- Thomas Ward Ubuntu Server Team Member
