Same discussion also started in central: https://central.owncloud.org/t/repo-for-ubuntu-14-04-has-disappeared/12397/16

It is a pity that modern systems like mint linux 17 are still based on old ubuntu 14.04

I'd be happy with a decision to keep 14.04 active for a while.

If it's not hard to keep the repo up and building then let's do it..?

[ogoffart]

Since we no longer support Ubuntu 14.04, is that something we should care about?
Is it about not deleting old packages? Is that OBS deleting the old packages ?

[michaelstingl]

If 14.04 causes no extra work, we could keep the repo… (unsupported)

[thomasfla]

I could really use a .deb for 14.04 at the moment.

Is there a mirror somewhere ? Or do I have to build from source to use owncloud-client on 14.04?

[jnweiger]

I've re-enabled the 14.04 repo in https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=isv%3AownCloud%3Adesktop&package=owncloud-client

If needed, I'll spend some free time tonight to make it work. Rebuild and upload done.

Please test this on Ubuntu 14.04 as user root:

wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:desktop/Ubuntu_14.04/Release.key -O - | apt-key add -
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_14.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/isv:ownCloud:desktop.list
apt-get update
apt-get install owncloud-client
owncloudcmd --version

  ownCloud version 2.4.1 (build 9083)
  Git revision cd60c2b88ac858339637575f124c58d88b42e78c
  Using Qt 5.6.2, built against Qt 5.6.2

Worked for me,
Thank's a lot!

A simple smoke test worked for me.
Thank a lot.

I use the owncloudcmd client at an ubuntu server 14.04 to synchronize some changed scripts and configuration files to the owncloud server which runs also at the same operating system.
I will upgrade the operating system when ubuntu 18.04 is out, my hosting provider does support this operating system and some time is gone where people have collect experience with this new operating system.
Until this time I need to have a synchronization client at my server.

If there are no security issues than I can live with an older owncloudcmd client.
In the case where no more updates would come it would be great if you could retain the old packages at one of your servers.

Thank you for your great work.

@workingmachine I recommend to use the 2.3.4. That was the last version that officially supported Ubuntu 14.04, 32-bit Linux and pre-10.10 Mac OS X versions. There is nothing wrong with the 2.3.4. 2.3.4 is a great ownCloud desktop sync client. I'll try to get the link to to the repo with older versions added here: https://owncloud.org/download/older-versions/ /cc @jnweiger

[workingmachine]

@michaelstingl The link of older versions for example 14.04 shows me repository of the current owncloud client 2.4.1: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_14.04/

After some searches I have found the correct repository path of 2.3.4:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop:/client-2.3.4/Ubuntu_14.04/
