Why[]
GiftWrap should have Launchpad integration such that
- a user can upload a package to their PPA
- launchpad also builds for them in a clean enviroment and for both 32bit & 64bit
- removes a need for having a local building enviroment
How[]
Requires a Python coder, see 'Archive' section of the following: https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/ for documentation.
From what's known at this point is that it'll be a different sub-program - GiftWrap itself won't be Python. Need to decide on the best communication way though. Likely will use DBus.
Features:
☐ Upload packages to users ppa. Launchpadlib does not allow this so it will be done using dput (needs discussion [1])
☐ Create PPAs. This will require opening up a web browser on the appropriate launchpad page to confirm (needs discussion )
☐ List all PPAs a user has
☑ List all packages in a given PPA
☐ Delete packages from a given PPA
☐ Move/copy packages between PPAs
☐ Change PPA description
Anything else?
When[]
This can be started on at anytime by someone experienced with Python.
