[20:18] <nacc> is there an alternatively lplib way to get to a PPA archive object than via getPPAByName? and/or can getPPAByName be done anonymously? it seems like the example on the lp website uses launchpad.me which i'm guessing isn't usable with login_anonymously
[20:26] <nacc> i think i figured it out
[20:35] <nacc> does launchpad host source packages (e.g., the dsc, tarballs) in a canonical way?
[20:40] <rbasak> nacc: take a look at what I'm doing in "usd queue". I suspect you'll need to do something similar.
[20:40] <nacc> rbasak: thanks, will do
[20:40] <rbasak> I was looking into doing the same thing for PPAs actually. It's a little different though.
[20:43] <cjwatson> nacc: File names are unique within an archive, so you can always go to <archive URL>/+files/<name>_<version>.dsc
[20:44] <cjwatson> archive URL being something like https://launchpad.net/~<owner>/+archive/<name> for a PPS
[20:44] <cjwatson> PPA
[20:44] <cjwatson> er, https://launchpad.net/~<owner>/+archive/ubuntu/<name> that is
[20:44] <nacc> right, i think i've got the ppa url now, so just need to find all the files
[20:44] <nacc> and then i guess if i hve the dsc i can do a pull() on the contents
[20:44] <nacc> or so
[20:45] <cjwatson> right.  dget works on that kind of .dsc URL
[20:45] <cjwatson> since all it really needs is to be able to strip off the tail of the URL and append a different file name
[20:45] <nacc> yep
[20:46] <nacc> cjwatson: thanks!
[20:46] <cjwatson> np
[21:05] <nacc> cjwatson: are historical DSC files avilable that way too? that is, for anything in the PPA's publishing history? looking at https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/php7testbuilds/+build/9573043, seems like that should translate to https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/php7testbuilds/+files/php7.0_7.0.5-0ubuntu1.dsc ?
[21:07] <nacc> oh, do i need to be authenticate to see the source files in a PPA?
[21:11] <nacc> well, the url seems to resolve for the most recent package https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/php7testbuilds/+files/php7.0_7.0.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~ppa1.dsc
[21:11] <nacc> ah i see why i think: https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/php7testbuilds/+build/9573043 says 'built files' is empty
[21:12] <nacc> rbasak: --^ fyi
[21:17] <wgrant> nacc: By default, files in PPAs are permanently deleted about a week after they are no longer published.
[21:18] <nacc> wgrant: ok -- i guess that means this feature request becomes a bit trickier, rbasak :)
[23:00] <nacc> hrm, i think lp is having a problem
[23:00] <nacc> https://code.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/edk2/+git/edk2
[23:01] <nacc> shows no branches
[23:01] <nacc> https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/edk2
[23:01] <nacc> shows all the branches
[23:01] <nacc> and maybe lplib is using some view on the first url, becuase it's saying i can't set the defualt branch to ubuntu/devel as it doesn't exist
[23:02] <nacc> or is that the latency mentioned re: the scanner job?
[23:55] <cjwatson> wgrant: ^- could you look at that?  I should really zzz
[23:55] <cjwatson> presumably FD leak again
[23:57] <wgrant> Yeah
[23:57] <wgrant> Will look
[23:57] <wgrant> Night
