[09:06] <IOhannes> sarnold: works nicely. hooray.
[09:07] <IOhannes> how long does it typically take for built packages to be published
[09:07] <IOhannes> ?
[09:09] <jugmac00> IOhannes: I am not entirely sure, but I think this depends on the current workload and vary quite a bit. Sorry, can't give you a better answer.
[09:11] <IOhannes> i see, thanks. in Debian there's a periodic cronjob that does this (every 4 hours)
[09:11] <IOhannes> !dinstall
[10:16] <cjwatson> IOhannes: The publisher runs basically continuously (technically a cron job that runs every minute with a lock so that only one copy of it runs at once), but it goes round all PPAs with changes serially, so the effective delay is indeed load-dependent.  Typically the cycle is approximately 15 minutes.
[11:06] <IOhannes> thx
[11:55] <IOhannes> something else: the PPA seems to automatically purge older releases after successfully adding a new one. is it possible to keep older releases around?
[11:56] <IOhannes> personally i totally understand why you would only want the latest and greatest. but the third reaction to my ppa-announcement included a question on how to get older releases via the ppa :-(
[12:07] <cjwatson> IOhannes: No, PPAs don't support that (though you can copy things to a different PPA, which can work in some limited cases)
[12:07] <IOhannes> ok. so i know what to answer them...
