Sebastian, Sam,

thank you for speaking up.

as Slawek said, the first (and probably the biggest) thing is to fix the ci.
the major part for it is to make midonet itself to run on ubuntu
version used by the ci. (18.04, or maybe directly to 20.04)
https://midonet.atlassian.net/browse/MNA-1344
iirc, the remaining blockers are:
* libreswan (used by vpnaas)
* vpp (used by fip64)
maybe it's the easiest to drop those features along with their
required components, if it's acceptable for your use cases.

alternatively you might want to make midonet run in a container. (so
that you can run it with older ubuntu, or even a container trimmed for
JVM)
there were a few attempts to containerize midonet.
i think this is the latest one: https://github.com/midonet/midonet-docker
