Hi ....  Why?  Well, when I first got my phone, the terminal from the 
Ubuntu store was broken.  I grabbed the code, built it and installed it 
on the phone.  No problem.after reporting this on this list, I left it 
there.  The terminal in the store is still broken, a year later, and 
Ubuntu no longer allows me to install my own stuff on my own phone or 
tablet.

Some weeks ago, I built a sip-phone - Twinkle.  I submitted it, untested 
because it is no longer allowed, and so far, have heard nothing!  The 
policy on not allowing installation is surely against one of Ubuntu's 
prime claims.  Why on earth has it been put in place is such an 
arbitrary manner?  And why has nobody ported apport to the phone/tablet? 
 I could probably do it myself  ......  but .....

My apologies if this seems to be turning into a rant.

Kind regards,		Barry.
