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referenced, rbasak [17:17] the "copy packages" web interface has a drop-down that you can switch from "Published" to "Superseded" or similar to find such things [17:18] the askubuntu link you found does not seem appropriate here [17:18] oh, excellent [17:18] let me try that [17:19]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

[23:42] for example can you setup a python env where pip can install the requirements [23:42] clivejo: Nope, I believe that's against Debian's rules for packages [23:42] clivejo: Which, in turn, is probably ours. [23:43] clivejo: You should probably ask the archive admins in #ubuntu-release what they're comfortable with. [23:56] 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 [23:57] And that would be undesirable, so no internet access, to enforce that people don't do it [23:58] 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] There are also issues around providing source for licenses that require it (eg. GPL) [23:58] A Debian package build on Launchpad can only depend on other packages, not external resources. [23:59] maxb: Exactly.
