Ubuntu 23.10: no stable or mainline packages on nginx.org repo

[cyrax13@…]

Hello there!

Ubuntu 23.10 with code name mantic was released 12.10.2023.
There is only a stable version 1.24.0 in the basic OS repos:

# apt list nginx*
Listing... Done
nginx-common/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 all
nginx-confgen/mantic 2.1-1 amd64
nginx-core/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 all
nginx-dev/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 all
nginx-doc/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 all
nginx-extras/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 amd64
nginx-full/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 all
nginx-light/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 all
nginx/mantic 1.24.0-1ubuntu1 amd64

Im trying to use as usual nginx packages repo for Linux nginx.org according to ​https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Ubuntu

When trying to install a package:

# apt update
...
Ign:4 http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu mantic InRelease
Err:5 http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu mantic Release
...
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu mantic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

Then I used direct links to find out if the package was in the repo:

• stable: ​https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/pool/nginx/n/nginx/
• mainline: ​https://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/pool/nginx/n/nginx/

There are no packages with mantiс code in the *.deb filenames on repo.

It is necessary to build stable and mainline versions of packages and place them in the nginx.org repo.

Thank you)

We are working on that, thanks for reminder.

Now that the build issues are fixed, packages for Mantic are available for both stable and mainline versions in the usual repos.

I'll work on documenting the changes on ​https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html.
