Bug Description

Please add timekpr package into official repositories (to have possibility to install timekpr through Ubuntu Software Store).

With Timekpr you can control and track the computer usage of your user accounts. You can limit their daily usage based on a timed access duration and configure periods of day when they can or cannot log in. With this application, administrators can limit account login time duration or account access hours. Timekpr also works as a parental time control, and will be useful to parents who want to limit child access time.

Currently Timekpr package can be installed from Personal Package Archive of timekpr-maintainers:
https://launchpad.net/~timekpr-maintainers/+archive/ppa

Note from developer: Currently, timekpr is rather "invasive" as it requires (in post-inst) to edit a file that belongs to package libpam-modules (/etc/security/time.conf and access.conf). We are currently re-writing timekpr to allow it to be more cross-platform and less invasive. Please wait for the new release (NOT 0.3.1). https://launchpad.net/timekpr/+announcement/3287
