Juju activities for Trusty

Registered by James Page

[RATIONALE]
Juju has been in Ubuntu universe for several releases now; as its the 'preferred' deployment tool for Ubuntu Server, we should aim to get it into main for the 14.04 LTS release.

[GOAL]
Juju + required dependencies in Ubuntu main for 14.04

Whiteboard

[UDS DISCUSSION]
http://pad.ubuntu.com/uds-1311-servercloud-1311-juju

[USER STORIES]
Jake is testing out Juju+MAAS on ARM64 based servers; he's able to use Ubuntu Trusty and Juju todo this.

Janet is deploying applications on ec2 using Juju and Ubuntu 14.04; she's able to consume a full supported solution direct from the Ubuntu Archive.

[ASSUMPTIONS]
juju-core and dependencies will work correctly with gccgo
bare-bones mongodb package for use with juju allows us to manage security vulnerabilities effectively

[RISKS]
gccgo introduces new bugs and issues to juju-core (mitigation - early testing of gccgo built binaries)

[IN SCOPE]
juju-core + deps
MongoDB

[OUT OF SCOPE]
Upstream tools publishing process.

[USER ACCEPTANCE]
gccgo built, fully tested juju-core in Ubuntu main.

[RELEASE NOTE/BLOG]
Ubuntu 14.04 includes the latest release of Juju, the service orchestration tool for Ubuntu Server, as a fully supported component of the distribution.
