[16:17] <retorquere> how long after I do "dput" should I expect packages to show up in my ppa?
[18:12] <jrwren> 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] <retorquere> it's been two hours -- that's still within the normal range?
[18:38] <jrwren> normal, I'd say no.
[18:41] <retorquere> Is there any way to see the current status?
[18:57] <jrwren> not AFAIK.
[19:00] <retorquere> 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] <jrwren> i think you should have received an email, yes.
[19:02] <jrwren> sorry, its been a while since i did this.
[19:07] <retorquere> 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] <retorquere> It uses an SSH key maybe?
[19:13] <retorquere> 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] <cjwatson> 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] <retorquere> 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] <retorquere> 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] <retorquere> How can I see whether I've activated my PPA? I don't see that terminology anywhere in my profile page.
[20:59] <cjwatson> sorry, not at my computer right now, but there should be directions on the help site
[21:00] <cjwatson> you need to create the gpg key and tell LP the public half
[21:04] <retorquere> 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] <retorquere> I' m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. Mail is in!
[21:14] <retorquere> Thanks guys!
[21:22] <cjwatson> it's hard to overstate your satisfaction? :)
[21:22] <cjwatson> good stuff
