Ubuntu Touch Packaging

[ProjectMoon]

Hello! I spent this afternoon/evening getting Lagrange to run properly on Ubuntu Touch. Since UT is (at time of writing) stuck on Mir 1.x, which is not a full Wayland compositor, a bunch of interesting changes were required to make the keyboard work, similar to how the iOS/Android integration was done. I do not plan to upstream these changes because of how niche they are, and also because once UT gets Mir 2.x Soon (TM), the changes should no longer be necessary.

So this GH issue is more of a question about packaging. Do you have any policy regarding the icon, name of the application, and so on? Obviously I would point people at my own repo instead of at upstream when filing bugs. The UX is unchanged, the only code changes are the hacks to get the UT keyboard working.

Thanks! And love Lagrange, it's the best Gemini client along with Geopard.

This all sounds sensible to me.

You can find the icons in the "res" subdirectory. One of the PNGs with the blue background should work for you. The preferred name of the application is "Lagrange" with the subtitle "A Beautiful Gemini Client". You can concatenate those if necessary. Feel free to use the general description and feature list from https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/ as needed. If there is a home/project page link in the packaging, use https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/ or gemini://skyjake.fi/lagrange/.

Alright, cool. It's up at https://next.open-store.io/app/fi.skyjake.lagrange/ now. It can be classified as "mostly functional." I will work on improving the keyboard behavior and reorganizing the code, maybe out of being one giant patch, and so on.
