This 0.5 release of ppa-dev-tools includes a number of usage conveniences people have requested, and some important fixes.
There's multiple ways to install: By Snap... $ sudo snap install ppa-dev-tools $ sudo snap alias ppa-dev-tools.ppa ppa By PPA... $ sudo add-apt-repository -ys ppa:bryce/ppa-dev-tools $ sudo apt-get install ppa-dev-tools By PIP... $ pip install ppa-dev-tools By source... $ git clone https://git.launchpad.net/ppa-dev-tools $ cd ppa-dev-tools $ sudo python3 ./setup.py install Notable changes from 0.4 to 0.5 ------------------------------- It is now possible to create PPAs under a different team's ownership via the `--owner` option: $ ppa create --owner foobar my-ppa As a convenience, this can also be specified in ppa address form, i.e.: $ ppa create ppa:foobar/my-ppa Furthermore, most places that take a PPA address will also take a full URL, including URLs ending with /+packages. For example, all of these are accepted as valid PPA specifiers: $ ppa wait my-ppa $ ppa wait myself/my-ppa $ ppa wait ppa:myself/my-ppa $ ppa wait https://launchpad.net/~myself/+archive/ubuntu/my-ppa $ ppa wait https://launchpad.net/~myself/+archive/ubuntu/my-ppa/ $ ppa wait https://launchpad.net/~myself/+archive/ubuntu/my-ppa/+packages Private PPA support is now available via the `--private/--public` arguments, allowing toggling a PPA's privacy, if allowed by Launchpad. For example: $ ppa create --private ppa:myself/my-private-ppa It is now possible to save and load Launchpad OAuth credentials, to permit use of ppa-dev-tools in situations where you can't use launchpadlib's automatic authentication mechanics. A new command is added to dump the credentials from an authenticated session: $ ppa credentials Launchpad credentials written to credentials.oauth You can then load them via a new `--credentials` global argument, for example: $ ppa --credentials ./credentials.oauth create ppa:myteam/myppa Credentials can also be supplied via an LP_CREDENTIALS environment variable. Thanks to Massimiliano Girardi for this feature. The `ppa wait` behavior has changed to display just a screenful of status while waiting on builds. The old behavior, where status updates are printed to stdout and scrolled, is still available via the --log option. Also, the `wait` command now supports a 'name' configuration parameter that allows specifying a single source package to wait on. The 'wait_max_age_hours' parameter makes it consider only uploads within the given timeframe. The 'exit_on_only_build_failure' parameter makes the wait exit if the only jobs that it is monitoring are failed builds. These options are aimed to facilitate CI/CD integration, but can also improve performance of the waiting operation on larger PPAs. This release provides an important bugfix, enabling the `ppa tests` command to properly parse and handle newer format autopkgtests. The log files for tests run on Ubuntu lunar and newer are prefixed with a timestamp that caused `ppa tests` to misread the subtest name. The timestamps are now recognized and subtest names parsed properly. (LP: #2025484) Other bugfixes have focused on improvements to input and error handling for a variety of conditions that have come up in practice. This includes some more robust handling of errors generated during Launchpad outages or other glitches (LP: #1997122).
