[16:17] how long after I do "dput" should I expect packages to show up in my ppa? [18:12] it depends on how many other uploads are in the queue and the priority of your package. Sometimes its a few minutes, sometimes its hours. [18:24] it's been two hours -- that's still within the normal range? [18:38] normal, I'd say no. [18:41] Is there any way to see the current status? [18:57] not AFAIK. [19:00] shouldn't I have received an email after submission? Or will that only get sent at the same time my packages show up? [19:02] i think you should have received an email, yes. [19:02] sorry, its been a while since i did this. [19:07] can I see what account dput uses to submit? It just worked for me without configuring anything (recently, at least), but it must know my account somehow. [19:08] It uses an SSH key maybe? [19:13] Wait, I can see using the -d flag it uses anonymous FTP? How does launchpad know this is signed by me so it can go into my PPA? [20:35] retorquere: you should have GPG-signed the upload - if you didn't get an email then in all probability you forgot to sign it or you signed it with a key that Launchpad doesn't know is associated with your account [20:37] That must be it. How do I get the GPG key I used for signing into launchpad? Or should I create a key on launchpad and download it somehow and use that for signing? [20:50] On https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA, I see "Your key, and instructions for adding it to Ubuntu, are shown on the PPA's overview page. " but on the overview page I see no mention of a key. [20:53] How can I see whether I've activated my PPA? I don't see that terminology anywhere in my profile page. [20:59] sorry, not at my computer right now, but there should be directions on the help site [21:00] you need to create the gpg key and tell LP the public half [21:04] The directions on the help site are not entirely clear to me, but I'll try adding the public part of my signing key. [21:14] I' m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. Mail is in! [21:14] Thanks guys! [21:22] it's hard to overstate your satisfaction? :) [21:22] good stuff
