Learn PPA and Ubuntu packaging basics
Personal Package Archives is Launchpad’s new beta feature that builds and hosts Ubuntu .deb packages in your very own apt repository.
At 15.00 UTC on Thursday 13th September, the Launchpad and Ubuntu MOTU teams are jointly hosting PPA and Packaging 101. This IRC session in #launchpad will introduce you to:
- the basics of packaging for Ubuntu
- solving your dependencies from the relevant Ubuntu section - i.e. the ogre model
- version consistency between PPA and Ubuntu’s primary archive.
It’s also your opportunity to ask questions about PPA and get answers from the Launchpad and MOTU teams. If you want to see a particular topic covered, add it to the class’s agenda on the Launchpad help wiki.
See you there!
Launchpad 1.1.8 released!
This week the Launchpad team released version 1.1.8 of Launchpad. There’s a lot in this release to excite the Ubuntu community!
- The Personal Package Archives beta will soon be available to all members of the Launchpad Beta Testers team who have signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
- You can now see your individual translation import queue.
- If you host code branches with Launchpad, you can now specify which branch, if any, you intend to merge the code into.
- The bug tracker’s email interface now lets you set a bug’s tag.
- Also in the bug tracker, bug notification email headers now state which milestone the bug is targeted to.
- Work is underway to enable you to file bugs against packages in Canonical’s commercial repository.
Other highlights include a new “Deactivate your account” option, Trac bug statuses are correctly interpreted and the bug filing page has been overhauled.
One important note: searching in bug comments has been temporarily suspended, as it was causing timeouts. As soon as the problem is fixed, bug comment searching will return!
You can find out more in the Launchpad 1.1.8 in the release notes.
