Create a new PPA

where arch is a Launchpad processor (you can pass multiple architectures here) or all to enable all available architectures.

The currently available Launchpad processors are

• amd64
• arm64
• s390x
• ppc64el

Delete an existing PPA

lppa delete PPA_NAME

List user's PPAs

lppa list

This will print a list with the names of the user's available PPAs

Fetch PPA information

Often, you may want to retrieve an URL for a PPA packages page or quickly fetch a dput command to upload packages to a PPA. That can be achieved through the info command.

lppa info PPA_NAME

Moreover, passing the -v option to the info command will also display the architectures for which the PPA can build packages.

Development

Read the Makefile.

Run make devel to set the development environment up (a python virtual environment is recommended).

Run make check to run the test suite and ensure the development environment is up to date.
