Hi,

Just wondered, if there is any work in progress to allow making ports 
using the new system image available, similar to 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/MakingPortsAvailable?

Looking at ubuntu-device-flash, I noticed the -server= argument. Setting 
up the JSON files for example on GitHub Pages is not a big deal and 
could serve as a temporary replacement, however the script expects that 
/pool is available on that same server.

Would it be possibly to add an optional "server" tag to the files entry? 
For example:

  {
      "checksum": "01af64f0546d031753e5bd7bcea822a3e1dc8c7b397322ad674f10f99c904065",
      "order": 0,
      "path": "/pool/ubuntu-ba1d394634d274c62ba61249b2e53ddfae2a5e3f2156c6b5bcc43ca572a5bd0d.tar.xz",
      "server": "https://system-image.ubuntu.com";,
      "signature": "/pool/ubuntu-ba1d394634d274c62ba61249b2e53ddfae2a5e3f2156c6b5bcc43ca572a5bd0d.tar.xz.asc",
      "size": 338043360
  }

That would be very helpful to reuse the existing tools for new ports.

Is there anything I can help with? Probably my time would be better 
spend helping to create a general solution for all porters than to hack 
my own deployment/update scripts.

Thanks for any info or pointers!
