We facing to a maintainance issue with Ubuntu 14.04, take a look to this link 
[1],
you'll see the first problem: the delivered GCC is too old (4.8.x) to build one 
dependency (restbed).
But, even if it's possible to force a newer GCC (4.9.x), we've seen that the 
binary doesn't run.
Due to the amount of work to prepare the beta2 release and continue the support 
on others platforms,
we haven't found a suitable solution for the release date and were forced to 
disable Ubuntu 14.04 deployement.
So here we are: Ubuntu 14.04 is currently not runnable as it with beta2 sources.
This donesn't mean we want to abandonate this platform, we only need some time 
or some help to find it.

So if someone want to help us to find a solution on this platform, many people 
will be grateful!
