BOINC on ARM

[jarek]

Thanks for help.

Unfortunately I'm neither developer nor geek, thus I need more
detailed instructions :-( I don't know where to find bionic (Github?!?
later I found https://github.com/BOINC/boinc but for moment being I'm
unable to make sense from it) or your ppa :-( Could you please give me
URL of your ppa?

TIA jp
