Wouldn't it be nice to have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS support?

Congrats with the new born!
A quick question, wouldn't it be possible to have a Long Term Support version?
In many professional environments the non-LTS versions are a no go.

What are the issues your guys are aware of ? (version .033 is running fine)

Thx!

    Thanks! We'd like to support 10.04, we just need to see if it's feasible. Packaging some of the dependencies might be a challenge. We'll investigate the options.

    Hey lod,

    Unfortunately supporting 10.04 is pretty intensely difficult, given that the necessary packages are far, far behind (libjpeg, boost, cairo, etc) and we'd have to start support a lot of backports. We'll support newer LTS releases, but 10.04 is just too far behind in deps.
