Description:

lppa 0.3.0

DISCONTINUED
This has been discontinued in favor of
ppa-dev-tools.
While this is still useful for examples, I no longer intend to proceed with
development for this tool. Please, use ppa-dev-tools instead.
lppa
Command line tool to create Launchpad PPAs and push deb source packages to them.
While this tool is intended to be used by distribution developers who often
need to prepare and push packages to test PPAs, this can also be used by
developers who wish to distribute their software through PPAs. For the latter,
please make sure to check the documentation since the default values are
designed to enhance the former use cases.
Installation
pip install lppa

Usage
lppa ships an lppa command line application to interact with Launchpad PPAs.
Run
lppa --help

for additional information.
Create a new PPA
To create a new PPA, run
lppa create PPA_NAME [all|arch, ...]

where arch is a Launchpad processor (you can pass multiple architectures here)
or all to enable all available architectures. If no architecture is passed,
all is assumed.
The currently available Launchpad processors are

amd64
arm64
s390x
ppc64el
armhf
armel
i386
powerpc
riscv64

Delete an existing PPA
lppa delete PPA_NAME

List user's PPAs
lppa list

This will print a list with the names of the user's available PPAs
Fetch PPA information
Often, you may want to retrieve an URL for a PPA packages page or quickly fetch
a dput command to upload packages to a PPA. That can be achieved through the
info command.
lppa info PPA_NAME

Moreover, passing the -v option to the info command will also display the
architectures for which the PPA can build packages.
Development
Run make devel to set the development environment up (a python virtual
environment is recommended).
Run make check to run the test suite and ensure the development environment
is up to date.
You can use make coverage to ensure code coverage is not drastically reduced
by new changes (if proposing changes, try to write some tests for them).
For instance, a complete bootstrap script would look like:
# apt install -y python3-virtualenv python3-virtualenvwrapper
$ mkvirtualenv lppa
$ workon lppa
$ make devel
$ make check

Releasing
There is a make release target which will

Change lppa/__init__.py to set the version to be published
Update the CHANGELOG.md file with towncrier entries
Commit the changes above and tag the repository
Push the changes to PyPI (login required)
Add a final commit bumping the package version to a new development one

Finally, a manual git push (including tags) is required.
