Nginx Ubuntu package policy

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Is there any document specifying Nginx’s policy on the pre-built Ubuntu
packages? I’d like to know how it is decided which Ubuntu releases are
supported, from which point, for how long, with which Nginx releases
(features/security), and if one can rely on packages once published
remaining available.

Thanks,
Ádám

The packages are built for Ubuntu releases currently supported by
Canonical. Once a new distribution is out, the packages are built for
it, both stable and mainline. Once an old distribution is EOLed, the
new packages are no longer built for it but the old ones still remain in
the repo.

The list of the supported distros is available on
nginx: Linux packages.
