The purpose is to test that one can do application development on a not too new released Linux without having to build the entire stack from Qt and up. It builds with distribution provided Frameworks and Qt, rather than what our CI does: master or something close to master. The choice of Ubuntu I think is slightly random and could probably be changed to something else from RedHat, Debian or Suse without upsetting any one, but it should still using packages for everything. I guess the selection was Ubuntu due to whatever whoever did it initially felt most comfortable with. /Sune
