[05:18] <JZA> hi I want to know how can I have a testing branch on my launchpad user...
[05:20] <wgrant> JZA: Can you expain what you mean when you say a testing branch?
[05:20] <JZA> well I want to get a user to install the ppa from their client without much hickup I am trying to do is for my user first before applying the changes on the team account.
[05:21] <wgrant> PPAs and branches are very different. Can you explain exactly what you're trying to achieve?
[05:21] <JZA> the user can do sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dash.org/dash
[05:22] <JZA> but from my user, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jza/dash
[05:22] <JZA> first is the team account, and I want to have a personal version for that package.
[05:23] <JZA> do a 'personal' release, and once everything is working, export it to the team account.
[05:23] <wgrant> JZA: As the command suggests, ppa:dash.org/dash is a PPA, or Personal Package Archive. See https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA for how to use create a PPA and upload packages to it.
[05:24] <JZA> ok thanks
[06:07] <stub> Are there sane options for using a snap as a deb package build dependency? eg. doing a 'snap install' from the rules file?
[06:07] <stub> (PPA recipe builds)
[06:11] <wgrant> stub: No, that's not permitted.
[06:11] <wgrant> (and is also a horrifyingly bad idea)
[06:17] <stub> repeatable builds.... phooey.
