Reinstating the package in Jammy

Manfred Hampl suggests this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #3037: “no rolling release”.

see Bug #1960356

Ubuntu's strategy is not to introduce a new package after an Ubuntu release has been published.
If that is followed also in case of uwsgi-plugin-php in jammy, then it will not be added any more. And for Ubuntu 22.10 (kinetic) is is also too late for an addition.

There are PPAs, maybe one of them offers what you are looking for, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=uwsgi-plugin-php

Thank you for the reply.

I am not familiar with the package release process, but I have investigated this a bit more.

Looks like this is fixed by applying patches in the uptream Debian package:
https://salsa.debian.org/uwsgi-team/uwsgi/-/commit/f6e64a7c2dc1ce594a60f1f69538d479a91daca6

In fact this looks to me to have been resolved in version 2.0.20-4 of the package.

It looks to me that this plugin can be reinstated now, as the cause for the removal <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uwsgi-plugin-php/+bug/1960356> has been fixed.

Would appreciate if this can be included again.

You can try requesting an addition of the uwsgi-plugin-php package to Ubuntu jammy (and/or kinetic) by creating a bug report, but I very much doubt that this will be realized. See the SRU template (referred from the FAQ linked above) for minimum information that should be provided in such request.

I see a better chance in waiting that uwsgi-plugin-php is added to the next Ubuntu development release (23.04, letter L) and then trying to request a backport.

Have you checked the availability in PPAs?

PPA availability was disappointing.

Here's a build for Jammy based on the Lunar-build:

https://github.com/ossobv/uwsgi-plugin-php-deb/releases/tag/v2.0.20%2B4%2B0.0.15-0osso1%2Bubu22.04

I assume a backport could be requested now. If anyone knows how.

Re: "I assume a backport could be requested now. If anyone knows how."

The link to the instructions how to request a backport is contained in the FAQ document linked above.

see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports for the process of backporting the newest version that is available in the development version of Ubuntu to an older release.

Re: "PPA availability was disappointing."

What's wrong with the version in https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/ubuntu/php8.1-transition.0 ?

No idea. It did not show up in the suggested search [1]. So I did not look there. But in hindsight, I would still prefer the single missing package over a repo that provides more than I asked for.

Thanks for the suggestion. That direct link can come in handy for others.

Good to know. As I've written in the accompanying readme, the only change from the Lunar version is the revert of https://salsa.debian.org/uwsgi-team/uwsgi-plugin-php/-/commit/cfa5fe64342582cc8c68db7b6cedd850cd77f7b6 . Then it just builds out of the box.
