one note to mention on changing software-properties over to using launchpadlib for lp logins; launchpadlib will create cache files in ~ and when running as sudo ~ isn't changed (without -i or -H). This results in bug 1828208
launchpadlib is not the only thing to suffer from this feature of sudo; I'm going to start an email list discussion about ubuntu's handling of $HOME under sudo. for now, if testing with my ppa build, add-apt-repository should be run with 'sudo -H' (or sudo -i), and it has a temporary check to prevent running under plain 'sudo'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645404 Title: Support Private PPAs Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Cosmic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Disco: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Eoan: In Progress Bug description: Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support adding private PPAs. software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be possible for it to get the password etc. ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: python-software-properties 0.82.4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/645404/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
