I want to install Heimdall to my Ubuntu 14.04. I however did not find any official support for it, particularly for 14.04. I know the previous packages but would like to have a direct support.

When is the Heimdall support coming for Ubuntu 14.04?

What makes you think it's not available? It's right there in the official repositories. You just need to install it:

sudo apt-get install heimdall-flash heimdall-flash-frontend

There are also .deb packages right there in the link you posted in your question.

When I look at the page you linked, I see a lot of support for Ubuntu:

I would appear that he has not released one since 2013 for Ubuntu, but that supports 13.10, and most stuff on 13.10 works on 14.04 and newer.

I just downloaded ubuntu13.04-heimdall-frontend_1.4.0-0_amd64.deb and ubuntu13.04-heimdall_1.4.0-0_amd64.deb and they both installed fine with no dependancy issues. Bear in mind I had to use the command dpkg -i /path/to/downloads/ubuntu13.04-heimdall-frontend_1.4.0-0_amd64.deb rather than software centre.

I guess you want it to be supported on 14.04 officially - that's not sommething we can answer here. You could speak to the developer and tell him that the 13.10 files work on 14.04?
