** Description changed: I've essentially re-written the pull-[lp|debian|uca]-source scripts, consolidating them all to use a common codebase and extending the functionality to allow pulling not only source but also debs, udebs, and ddebs. The updates also allow specifying binary package names, which the original pull-*-source didn't work with. The pull-lp-[debs|udebs|ddebs] also allows downloading otherwise "gone" debs from Launchpad - for older packages where LP no longer lists the binaries as existing anymore. They are actually still there, but getting their specific URL is tricky, and not possible from the normal LP web interface. The new pull-lp-* scripts can handle it and will allow downloading any deb/udeb/ddeb for any older package. This also fixes bug 1700846, where pull-debian-source fails for older packages where the public key that the DSC was signed with no longer is in the keyring. + + This also allows actually getting ddebs for old packages - unlike + ddebs.ubuntu.com, which only provides ddebs for the latest few package + versions, pull-lp-ddebs will actually pull ddebs for all older package + versions, meaning you can debug a problem without being forced to + upgrade to the latest version of all relevant packages first. Original description: Errors like the following are happening because Debian's DDE [1] is dead [2]: logan@logan-VMware:~$ pull-debian-source d-rats pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to retrieve package information from DDE: http://dde.debian.net/dde/q/udd/dist/d:debian/r:sid/p:d-rats/?t=json (<urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>) pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to find d-rats in Debian suite "sid". Maybe someone would be willing to host/maintain a new instance of DDE? Or is there another way to programmatically grab the Debian/Ubuntu source package name from the binary package name?
