 [ Permalink  ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/skip-deploying-some-jetpack-9-7-files/)

Due to recent code introduced in Jetpack 9.7, which is only to be executed on PHP
<=7.2 or PHP >=8.0, some linting jobs are failing when deploying mu-plugins. This
PR removes them from the deploy so the process can be completed.

We have added a new subtree for Jetpack 9.7, initially containing version 9.7-beta.
If you want to try this beta, you can follow the [testing guidelines](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/jetpack/branch-9.7/to-test.md).

As usual, you need to pin your site to use Jetpack 9.7 by adding this line to your`
vip-config.php`:

    ```
    define( 'VIP_JETPACK_PINNED_VERSION', '9.7' );
    ```

We completely removed the `gutenberg-ramp` submodule and also the `gutenberg-ramp.
php` file from `vip-go-mu-plugins` as the plugin is deprecated and should no longer
be used. We’ve taken steps to ensure that this action will not be disruptive.
