[Bug 1294005] [NEW] Please remove jenkins from trusty

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by James Page (james-page):

The jenkins we have in trusty is the previous LTS release of jenkins; it
contains numerous security vulnerabilities and the maintainer of the
Jenkins packages in Ubuntu and Debian (myself) no longer has the
capacity to maintain Jenkins plus associated dependencies.

Also having had Jenkins in Ubuntu for the last two years, I also
question is supportability in distro; upstream advances quickly and
backporting critical security fixes is very hard due to refactoring in
the codebase in-between LTS releases of Jenkins (every 3 months or so).

My recommendation is that users switch to using the upstream packages.
