[Bug 1827367] Re: rabbitmq-server outdated

[Eric Desrochers]

3.6 is EOL since 31 May 2018.
3.7 is EOL'ing in 31 March 2020

which only leave 3.8 as supported

For more details:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html

rabbitmq-server (3.8.2) depends on erlang (21.3) which is the minimum
required which depends on elixir (1.6.6)

None of theses depends are found in Bionic at the moment:
erlang | 1:20.2.2+dfsg-1ubuntu2 | bionic/universe | all
elixir | 1.3.3-2 | bionic/universe | all

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS still comes with rabbitmq 3.6.10. Backports does not
  have newer versions either.

  
  However, 3.6 is deprecated and not supported anymore since May 1st, 2018. There's no security updates. 

  
  See

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rabbitmq-users/kXkI-f3pgEw/UFowJIK4BQAJ
  https://github.com/rabbitmq/chef-cookbook

  
  Since Ubuntu 19.04 has rabbitmq 3.7 packages, it would possibly be a good idea, to put them in the backports for 18.04.
