The `ppa tests` command received a bunch of bug fixes to autopkgtest
trigger URL generation and test result processing, along with some
noteworthy packaging advancements in this 0.6 release.
ppa-dev-tools is a Launchpad API client that lets you create and manage
Personal Package Archives (PPAs) from the command-line, run autopkgtests
against them, and check results. E.g.:
$ ppa create my-ppa
$ dput *.changes ppa:/my-ppa
$ ppa wait my-ppa
$ ppa tests my-ppa
$ ppa destroy my-ppa
There's multiple ways to install:
By Snap...
$ sudo snap install ppa-dev-tools
By PPA...
$ sudo add-apt-repository -ys ppa:bryce/ppa-dev-tools
$ sudo apt-get install ppa-dev-tools
By PIP...
$ pip install ppa-dev-tools
By source...
$ git clone https://git.launchpad.net/ppa-dev-tools
$ cd ppa-dev-tools
$ sudo python3 ./setup.py install
Notable changes from 0.5 to 0.6
---
With this release comes some significant improvements in packaging of
ppa-dev-tools, including completion of the transition to modern Python
build packaging and dropping of the old setup.py approach. Of even more
note, ppa-dev-tools is now included in Debian testing, so can now be
installed directly on that operating system; hopefully soon it will be
available from Ubuntu oracular as well.
Meanwhile, the snap packaging has been significantly improved, including
snapshot builds, builds for all supported architectures, better handling
of Launchpad credentials, and a registered alias for the 'ppa' command.
Several irregularities were found in various corner cases with the
parsing, processing, and display of test results for the `ppa tests`
command. These are fixed and the testsuite expanded to cover a wider
variety of test (mis-)behaviors. The --package argument now filters the
results as well as the triggers, which will be helpful for users of PPA
containing many packages.
As well, the `ppa tests` command's handling of triggers has received
some fixes that were causing them to not be displayed in some
circumstances, or to be improperly encoded for some package version
numbers.
Thanks to all the contributors to this release: Alberto Contreras,
Alexandre Detiste, Heinrich Schuchardt, Mitchell Dzurick, Nathan Pratta
Teodosio, Simon Chopin and Benjamin Drung.
