Comment 11 for bug 1579815

@Phil, just as an FYI, it's not so trivial to do what you suggest.

Building it from source is not the same as building it as a Debian package, and as
Ondřej mentioned in c#7, it would actually end up needing to be a new source package. That's just not something that will be done for 14.04.

This is, to be honest, the cost you run when you try to run more recent tooling against older distributions (IMO). It sounds like Laravel made this change recently, perhaps they should also clarify where that version of the software is 'supported'. But that is a discussion for Laravel not Ubuntu (again IMO). If not, then perhaps the Laravel folks could document the suggested `apt` line provided by Ondřej in order to build it locally (but then again, noting that you'd need to keep it up-to-date yourself (bugfixes, etc.), I assume.
