The next Ubuntu LTS is out ~now, 16.04 Xenial. So package support needed for that. :-)

I'm looking at this, will see what progress I can make.

EDIT: I've fixed a few blockers tonight, will keep going tomorrow evening.

Well, it's turned into a twisty maze of build error messages, as expected. Bitrot has overtaken a few things; I tried a minimally invasive change but the old Omnibus we were using pulled in an old version of ncurses that wouldn't compile in a new GCC.

In a new omnibus5 branch I have it getting up to the flapjack software def, but it falls over during that build (seems to build the gem but then not be able to find it to install). This may be due to syntax changes in the Omnibus DSL, I'll check when I'm next on this.

Hopefully that's the last of the build problems, it also remains to be seen what startup script changes etc. will be necessary. (I'll also need to check that the new branch still builds packages for old distros properly.)
