In Launchpad, the precise distro_series is still listed as "active".
However, it doesn't appear in apt any more at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/. This is breaking git-ubuntu,
which uses the active series list from Launchpad[1] to decide what apt
suites exist. As a result, git-ubuntu imports are currently down.

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EndOfLifeProcess the Launchpad
status should have been changed _before_ moving to old-releases.

Could the person who moved the repository to old-releases please get in
touch? Is it possible to perform the first two steps for EOL in that
checklist quickly, to fix things up? If not I'll need to cowboy some
hardcoded "ignore Precise" thing into git-ubuntu and that'll require a
1.0.1 release just for that.

Longer term, what should git-ubuntu be using to determine availability
of apt suites, if not Launchpad distro_series object status? Filtering
on 404s of the Release file feels a bit error prone.

Thanks,

Robie

[1] More precisely: [
        series
        for series in lp.distributions['ubuntu'].series_collection
        if series.status == 'Supported'
