Utility for interacting with PPAs on Launchpad

# Ppa Dev Tools #

ppa is a command line client for managing PPAs in Launchpad.

This primarily focuses on functionality needed by owners of PPAs, to assist in their creation, deletion, and configuration. A key functionality is to poll and wait until the package(s) in the PPA have completed building; this permits blocking on the builds to delay other actions such as requesting users on a bug report to test the PPA, or submitting a merge proposal for the update to be considered for inclusion in the distro.

You can view a team’s registered PPAs using ‘ppa list’.

## Usage ##

Register a new PPA $ ppa create my-ppa PPA ‘my-ppa’ created for the following architectures:

i386, amd64, armel, armhf, ppc64el, s390x, arm64, powerpc

The PPA can be viewed at:

https://launchpad.net/~my-name/+archive/ubuntu/my-ppa

You can upload packages to this PPA using:

dput ppa:my-name/my-ppa <source.changes>

Upload a package to the PPA $ dput ppa:my-name/my-ppa some-package.changes

Wait until all packages in the PPA have finished building $ ppa wait my-ppa

Set the public description for a PPA from a file $ cat some-package/README | ppa desc ppa:my-name/my-ppa

Delete the PPA $ ppa destroy my-ppa
