@carlfk, can you elaborate on: > deploy a private key (or similarly sensitive secret) file and a publicly > readable script (apt-add-repository...) and it just runs, no browser, > no user, no typing
for a private ppa, the script will only generate 3 files (e.g. for ppa:ddstreet/private on disco): 1) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddstreet-ubuntu-private-disco.list 2) /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/ddstreet_ubuntu_private.conf 3) /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ddstreet_ubuntu_private.gpg you could just copy those directly to whatever system you want, and not have to run anything at all on the system (besides 'sudo apt update' and then upgrade/install).

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
