No, It means that the plugin (apparently, I have not reproduced) 
- cannot be built on ubuntu 14.04 
- cannot be use on 14.04 with the plugin from travis.

Although being an LTS, 14.04 is four years old (and goes out of maitenance in a year…)

its a special config, debians around that time still used 0.9-whatever.
I think its a fix that takes around 2 hours, +/- time for settiung up the OS.
I don't have those 2 hours atm.


Most users will be fine…
