Day Scope for UBPorts of Ubuntu Touch

Day Scope for Ubuntu Touch / UBPorts

Note: Fork from Launchpad / Credit to the original developers

• The Day Scope was originally developed and written by the day-scope-team using the GNU GPLv3.
• After Canonical stopped developing Ubuntu Touch, I was inspired by the following thread in the UBPorts forum to fork the day scope and to derive a working click package which I could use on my phone running UBPorts.
• The original launchpad repo can be found using the following link.

Changes of the original code

• I did the following changes with regards to the original launchpad version to derive the first working version of the click package. So refer to my first commit to this repository.
• Please note that I will not document later code changes in this README, instead check out the history of this repository.

Changes:

• Changed the query.cpp file to deactivate Moon Phase part so far, since MoonPhase API Provider requires a license which costs money. Without a secret key and an api key the moon phase cannot be obtained any longer.
• Removed requirement of providing an assets file which contained the secret and api key for the moon phase API in the CMakeLists.txt file.
• Changed the name of the maintainer to myself in the CMakeLists.txt file. In the long run I hope that the UBPorts team will include the Day Scope in its repository.
