| eena | i'd like to delete the packages i've uploaded here, because i'm recommending people use a repo people have time supporting: https://launchpad.net/~apache-helpdesk/+archive/ubuntu/httpd-ppa | 16:48 |
| eena | how do i best do that? | 16:48 |
| cjwatson | eena: https://launchpad.net/~apache-helpdesk/+archive/ubuntu/httpd-ppa/+packages will have a "Delete packages" link at the top right, where you can delete all the packages but leave the PPA; the effect will be that "apt-get update" will succeed for existing users but there'll be nothing in that archive. Or the page you gave should have a "Delete PPA" link for you in the top right; if you use that then the entire archive will be deleted ... | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | ... and "apt-get update" will fail for existing users until they remove the archive from their configuration. | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | Your choice. | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | If you do the latter, then your helpful message will vanish too. | 16:50 |
| eena | cjwatson: i'm torn. | 16:51 |
| cjwatson | So I guess you just want to delete all the individual packages using the "Delete packages" link. | 16:51 |
| eena | yeah. unless there's a way to display that helpful message in add-apt repo, or in apt-get update | 16:51 |
| cjwatson | Not AFAIK. | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | Well, add-apt-repository should already display the repository description. | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | (But not if the archive is deleted.) | 16:52 |
| eena | i hope anyone actually reads that. | 16:52 |
| dobey | well, if you delete the ppa and people try to add-apt-repo it, then they'll get an error message that it doesn't exist | 17:05 |
