These are the roughest dependencies that have forced ubuntu 14 to remain in place: https://launchpad.net/~reddit/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=trusty

Especially:

  • fbthrift
  • folly
  • baseplate
  • pycassa
  • pylons

All of the ones that have 'reddit' in the version have been modified by Reddit.

I'm all ears on ways to avoid this. In my mind the whole thing needs a re-write to python 3 and away from anything Reddit or Facebook authored.

I bet the ppas could be ported away from Ubuntu 14 apt like you are saying, but it still seems very labor intensive to get all of these super old services running on a newer OS. Postgres 9 and Cassandra 1. I thought docker was supposed to be the answer.
