[Bug 1827367] Re: rabbitmq-server outdated

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Hi Hadmut,
in rare cases where security maintenance is unbearable without upgrading this is done by the security team. Otherwise as you suggested this would be a package for backports pocket, but that is mostly a community effort.

I think there is no objection to help on that backport, but it is
unlikely that one will totally jump on it. I'll mark it wishlist to
reflect that.

  rabbitmq-server outdated

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

  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.
