| simon_weber | Hi all! I'm hoping to copy a build from a ppa into mine. It's an old package and no longer published, so it doesn't show in the "copy packages" interface. Given a link to the build result, what's the easiest way to copy the result to my ppa? | 17:10 |
|---|---|---|
| simon_weber | I think I just need the .changes file and the files it references, then I give those to dput? | 17:11 |
| dobey | you can't dput binary packages to a PPA no | 17:11 |
| rbasak | Maybe the copy-package tool from ubuntu-archive-tools can do it? | 17:13 |
| dobey | what ppa are you trying to copy from? | 17:14 |
| simon_weber | this is the particular build I'm looking to copy: https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/ubuntu/redis-server/+build/6654221 | 17:14 |
| simon_weber | (yes, I know it's very old, haha) | 17:14 |
| simon_weber | this seems relevant, maybe? http://askubuntu.com/a/475298 | 17:16 |
| simon_weber | I wasn't able to find the copy-package tool you referenced, rbasak | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | the "copy packages" web interface has a drop-down that you can switch from "Published" to "Superseded" or similar to find such things | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | the askubuntu link you found does not seem appropriate here | 17:18 |
| simon_weber | oh, excellent | 17:18 |
| simon_weber | let me try that | 17:18 |
| simon_weber | cjwatson: beautiful, that's exactly what I needed | 17:19 |
| simon_weber | thanks! | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | np | 17:19 |

| clivejo | hi folks, when you are building a package on LP, is there any way to get internet access whilst building? | 23:41 |
| clivejo | for example can you setup a python env where pip can install the requirements | 23:42 |
| tsimonq2 | clivejo: Nope, I believe that's against Debian's rules for packages | 23:42 |
| tsimonq2 | clivejo: Which, in turn, is probably ours. | 23:42 |
| tsimonq2 | clivejo: You should probably ask the archive admins in #ubuntu-release what they're comfortable with. | 23:43 |
| maxb | I believe the idea is that if you need internet access, it means the source code isn't entirely represented by what's in the source packages and installed binary packages for dependencies | 23:56 |
| maxb | And that would be undesirable, so no internet access, to enforce that people don't do it | 23:57 |
| wgrant | Right, the restriction is in place mostly to ensure that we can't not build a fix just because some upstream website has gone away, or some version of the dependencies has changed. | 23:58 |
| wgrant | There are also issues around providing source for licenses that require it (eg. GPL) | 23:58 |
| wgrant | A Debian package build on Launchpad can only depend on other packages, not external resources. | 23:58 |
| tsimonq2 | maxb: Exactly. | 23:59 |
