Fwd: jessie backport for Wordpress
Please remove CC to bugreport where I suggested having a backport as
approbiate again. I just wanted to put information that Rodrigo did a
backport in there as well.
Hello Craig and Rodrigo,
Craig, Rodrigo made a jessie-backport of Wordpress 4.2.2.
And gave another good reason to have it available for Jessie users.
I would really like to see it in jessie-backports after wordpress 4.2.2
entered testing.
I am willing to test it on my server where I now use the unstable package.
Rodrigo, how did you solve the versioned dependency php-getid3 (>=
1.9.9+dfsg)? According to Craig its important to use the newer version cause
it has a security fix.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi,
I've uploaded to mentors a jessie backport of wordpress. It's from the
version in sid (not in testing, waiting for some other package) so it should
not be uploaded just yet. But the version in sid fixes some security issues,
so I think it's pointless to upload an unfixed version.
The wordpress support policy states that:
"The only current officially supported version is WordPress 4.2.2.
Previous major releases from 3.7 onwards may or may not get security
updates as serious exploits are discovered."
See here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Supported_Versions
So, it's inevitably that the release shipped with jessie will stop to be
maintained by wordpress and backporting the patches will be needed, making
it a difficult task. This may cause some delay to fix some issues, and
wordpress has had SERIOUS security issues in the past weeks. See for
example[1].
As I need the wordpress package and some updates have taken some time to
come to debian, and the wordpress support policy is limited to the last
release, IMHO, it makes sense to backport it to jessie. Also, I'd really
like to have the current wordpress version (or pretty close), so a backport
seems appropriate for me.
I'm not a DD nor DM and it's my first time using mentors, so I apologize in
advance if something is wrong. The link to mentors is:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/wordpress
I've used cowbuilder to do it and run it with the "-v4.1+dfsg-1"
dpkg-buildpackage option (the version in stable) as it says here[2].
Please let me know if I should fix something or if the package is accepted.
Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo
