| alkisg | Hi, is it possible to change the description of a ppa (https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+edit) without changing the Release Label? | 06:06 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | Because I think both are updated at the same time, which results in this apt warning, which can be very confusing to inexperienced users: | 06:06 |
| alkisg | E: Repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ts.sch.gr/ppa/ubuntu focal InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from 'Αποθετήριο Τεχνικής Στήριξης ΣΕΠΕΗΥ' to 'Αποθετήριο ενημερώσεων ΣΕΠΕΗΥ' | 06:06 |
| cjwatson | alkisg: The Label field is always taken from the PPA's *display name*, but the *description* is separate and you can change that freely | 11:22 |
| alkisg | cjwatson: oh I'm sorry I didn't express myself properly. I meant that I want to change the PPA "display name" without affecting the "Label" field (as it's causing apt warnings), which I guess you already answered that it can't be done... | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | alkisg: It cannot, no | 12:18 |
| alkisg | There's a "PPA description" there (https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) and a Description there (http://ppa.launchpad.net/ts.sch.gr/ppa/ubuntu/dists/focal/Release), but I didn't mean any of them, I meant the display name | 12:18 |
| alkisg | Thank you once more :) | 12:20 |
| cjwatson | https://git.launchpad.net/launchpad/tree/lib/lp/archivepublisher/publishing.py#n1012 is fairly straightforward | 12:20 |
| alkisg | If I put appstream metadata in my PPA packages, they'll still not show up in `gnome-software` due to launchpad not exporting metadata, right? | 13:35 |
| alkisg | Are there any plans to support appstream metadata in launchpad? | 13:35 |
| cjwatson | alkisg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1574948, but it's not currently planned | 15:18 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1574948 in Launchpad itself "PPAs: no appstream-generator / dep11 data" [Low,Triaged] | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | (I don't disagree with the suggestions there though) | 15:19 |
| alkisg | Merci! :) | 18:01 |
