There are probably four important constituencies that need to build Mir and they may well be targeting different platforms. 1. Mir developers - they are clearly targeting vivid 2. Client-side "toolkit" developers - these could be targeting the LTS (trusty) or the stable release (utopic) as well as vivid 3. Server-side "Shell" developers - the ones we are aware of are targeting vivid 4. Graphics "platform" developers - there are none, but they would likely target the LTS (trusty) So, there are reasons to support development on trusty. Having said that, as the OP mentions C++14 support is only one of the issues: We've currently got an MP that reworks a test so that it builds with the version of gmock available on trusty. If we assume that only /1/ above needs to build the tests then we wouldn't need that. IIUC it is also possible to install g++-4.9 on the LTS So I don't see using C++14 disenfranchising anyone that doesn't already have issues. -- Mir-devel mailing list Mir-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/mir-devel
