Nginx has been removed from Debian Stable

5 pointsfuzz_junket10y ago6 comments

I searched Debian's packages and it looks like they've removed Nginx from the stable distribution (Jessie). It looks to be temporary as it's still in Sid, but I can't find any information on Debian's site. Does this indicate a problem with the previously available packages? From what's on my machine, the previously available version was 1.6.2.

Here are the search results, although they're liable to change when Nginx gets reintroduced: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nginx&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all

No it hasn’t. It’s still listed at the link you posted, and I see no evidence that it was ever removed at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nginx (if it had been removed, there would be a news item there with a reason). If you saw it missing on packages.debian.org, that must have just been a temporary website glitch.

Don't panic. nginx is in Jessie. The link does work, unlike somebody else said: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/nginx

Here's also a list of all Debian releases with nginx: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nginx&searchon=n...

Here's the link to Nginx in Sid: https://packages.debian.org/sid/nginx

The same link but for Jessie says "Package not available in this suite.": https://packages.debian.org/jessie/nginx

`Package: nginx (1.6.2-5)` is there just fine for me in Jessie and `1.9.6-2` in Sid.

I see results in the search results for Sid and Squeeze, but not for stable. Nginx has not been removed from Debian all together, just from certain versions. This is according to packages.debian.org at least. As you pointed out, it may be that their search engine is not working correctly.

Some people may find this useful in the future: http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html

Besides stable and mainline versions of nginx it also provides other packages maintained by nginx such as nginx-nr-agent.
