Hey all,

We've created a daily PPA for all the core apps currently been worked 
on. The applications are all in various states of completeness. Expect 
bugs & crashes. Kittens should be kept at a safe distance!

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/+archive/daily

The PPA contains daily builds for x86, AMD64 and armhf of all the core 
apps, for quantal only. We'll look to build for raring too shortly, but 
note the Ubuntu Touch images are currently quantal based.

To test out the core apps on a desktop simply add the PPA as usual:-

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/daily

(if you're on raring you will need to edit 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers-daily-raring.list 
to change raring to quantal as we don't have raring builds yet)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install <appname>

Apps can be started directly from the dash.

To test out on the phone you can ssh into the device directly from 
qtcreator "devices" menu and install using the same commands above.

Note: There's currently a bug in the Ubuntu Touch image which prevents 
icons for the applications from appearing on the launcher, we hope to 
have that fixed shortly. In the meantime you can start the apps by 
running the script shipped with each app, for example 
/usr/bin/ubuntu-calculator-app (which in turn runs qmlscene 
/usr/share/ubuntu-calculator-app/calculator.qml).

For other bugs in the individual apps, including packaging issues, 
please report to the appropriate places: - 
http://bugs.launchpad.net/<appname>

Cheers,
