[10:42] <om26er> Hi! Can I achieve something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/24145221/ in a launchpad recipe ?
[10:43] <om26er> basically, I need to download a source package from a ppa, re-sign it and upload it to my ppa.
[10:43] <om26er> @cjwatson Is that possible with a recipe ?
[10:44] <om26er> though with a special environment variable DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck testkeys"
[10:44] <cjwatson> Recipes have to be based on a branch.
[10:44] <cjwatson> And neither the pinning nor the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS stuff is natively possible in PPAs.
[10:45] <cjwatson> Oh, but I see those are for the source build.  Not natively possible in recipes then.
[10:46] <cjwatson> You could conceivably base off a git-to-git import of snapd rather than the PPA, but the testkeys problem would remain.
[10:46] <cjwatson> I don't think recipes are flexible enough for what you need, sorry.
[10:47] <om26er> cjwatson: I am only interested in uploading to ppa when there is a new candidate in the snapd ppa. A jenkins job would probably be the solution here ?
[10:47] <om26er> so don't need to track git repo, rather need to track the ppa.
[10:48] <cjwatson> That should be doable as long as you're careful with keys (i.e. if you're giving keys to an automated system then it should also have its own account rather than just having a copy of your personal keys)
[10:49] <om26er> cjwatson: you mean that is doable with a recipe ?
[10:51] <cjwatson> No, with a Jenkins job or similar
[10:51] <cjwatson> Recipes can't track PPAs
[12:43] <cpaelzer> I know that one can ask to "devirt" a ppa via launchpad question, is the same true to get s390x builds for building snaps on a LP project?
[12:44] <cjwatson> Yes.
[12:45] <cjwatson> The setting applies to individual snap objects.
[14:06] <cpaelzer> I guess a snap object in this case is a branch+user buildig it.
[14:07] <cpaelzer> I submitted a LP question against "launchpad itself" as usual
[14:07] <cpaelzer> In case I missed a detail to identify the snap object let me know
[14:07] <cpaelzer> https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/543839
[14:08] <cjwatson> The snap object is the thing whose URL is /~OWNER/+snap/NAME.
[14:10] <cpaelzer> great, that matches what I expected
[14:10] <cpaelzer> thanks cjwatson for the explanation
[16:03] <om26er> Can I configure a ppa so that it builds packages for multiple Ubuntu releases ?
[16:06] <cjwatson> om26er: You always need to either (a) make multiple uploads, or (b) upload to the oldest release, wait for builds to finish, and copy the results forward to the other releases
[16:06] <cjwatson> om26er: There's no automation for this in PPAs
