I've had a build recipe set up for something like six months, but it broke
sometime during the XPM icon changes.  I finally had a chance to take a look
at it this morning, and I changed the build recipe branch to not have
-DXPM_CPP_PATH=$(CURDIR)/build/bitmaps in the cmake options, and it appears
to build fine.  My PPA already had builds scheduled for most recent ubuntu
releases, so I cannot test it on their architecture for anything but Ubuntu
12.04 ("Precise").  I did test it with that, and it successfully built, as
well as successfully built on my Ubuntu 11.04 machine.  In about 20 hours or
so, the rest of the Ubuntu releases should build on Launchpad.

The build recipes seem to be pretty amazing, really.  I have a single branch
of packaging information loaded.  I started with the debian packaging
information.  I then added a few lines in a build recipe (
https://code.launchpad.net/~adamwolf/+recipe/kicad-packaging-daily) and now
Launchpad merges kicad with my packaging tree, and if there's been any
changes in the last day, it builds it and puts it in a PPA.
