It would be no problem at all to build it on/for trusty (with PHP5) as thats what I'm doing in my docker image.

No, the Laravel Framework isnt a Ubuntu package. However one very very popular php package for using MongoDB with it, was based on the php5-mongo ubuntu package and since a short while, it requires the new driver. Now the problem is that Composer (package and dep manager for PHP) will fail on trusty as it cant find the new driver and one has to manually install it. And thats where most people get stuck as its not straight-forward to find the reason and then the solution.

However I do understand you guys are not interested in making the new driver available for trusty. Quite unfortunate for alot people tho.

You can close this issue then.

Still thx for comments :)
