Build Status Code Health PyPi Version PyPi Downloads

Some tools for easing submission to launchpad.

Usage

Backporting

Sometimes, new versions of Debian packages are released and not backported to older Ubuntu releases. Backporting those manually was always a little bit of a hassle.

With launchpad-submit, it becomes easy: Just

  • find the DSC file of the package you want to backport,

  • add a new PPA on launchpad.net, and

  • execute

    launchpad-submit \
      --dsc "http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/metis/metis_5.1.0.dfsg-4.dsc" \
      --ubuntu-releases trusty \
      --ppa nschloe/metis-backports

    All options are documented under launchpad-submit -h.

Distribution

To create a new release

  1. bump the __version__ number,

  2. create a Git tag, $ git tag v0.3.1 $ git push --tags and

  3. upload to PyPi: $ make upload

License
