Publishing Raring-based Ubuntu Touch Images

Registered by Ricardo Salveti

Review the Ubuntu Touch specific changes and rebase them on top of Raring.

Doesn't need to be in the archive, and will be used as base to later have CI jobs publishing the packages at the archive once the s-series is open for development.

Sprints

Whiteboard

As Raring is now in feature freeze, and we don't want to block our current testing and daily publishing effort until it's finally released, we decided to rebase our changes and apps on top of Raring, but publishing at a PPA instead (~phablet-team/ppa, as we have for Quantal).

Publishing at the PPA will help us getting into a better state sooner, without creating more work for the Ubuntu release team and allowing us to have more time to deal with our own package customizations (network-manager, pulseaudio, etc). At the same time we'll be able to generate working images based on Raring right after the packages are published at the PPA, which will help us filling all the gaps to plan an smoother transition once S-series is open for development.
