Not sure how it would be worse. Apt is quite clear on what needs to be in place, and where, to add a new repo; place the apt source server conf in Dir::Etc::sourceparts/d, place the apt archive's gpg key in Dir::Etc::trustedparts/d, and place the apt archive login details (if any) in Dir::Etc::netrcparts/d. Is any of that incorrect, and/or will any of that ever change?

So multiple ssh subprocesses should not be a huge issue, you could after all use ControlMaster and stuff to reuse the connection. That said, it seems reasonable to create a shell script, or a Python script and execute that on the remote from stdin. python3 and python3-apt should be available on all systems I think to do config lookups, and the content of files can be embedded into a generated script in base64.

It will fail if the remote add-apt-repository isn't at a newer version (i.e. that supports the '-' param). Additionally, the gpg has to be manually added, since (for private ppas) that can't be queried without logging into lp, which is what the remote session is trying to avoid. I think simply creating the resulting files - sourceparts, netrcparts, and trustedparts - on the remote system is going to be more reliable and simpler than using the remote system's installed add-apt-repository to try to process things into place. Calling apt-config on the remote system to gather the right directories to place the files should be simple; I think the hardest part will be figuring out how to do it without multiple subprocess runs to call ssh to 1) gather apt-config on the remote system and then 2) scp/sftp or ssh create-from-stdin the 3 files, and then 3) make sure they are the correct mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645404 Title: Support Private PPAs Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Cosmic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Disco: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Eoan: In Progress Bug description: Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support adding private PPAs. software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets permission denied trying to read the ppa.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 645404] Re: Support Private PPAs
one note to mention on changing software-properties over to using launchpadlib for lp logins; launchpadlib will create cache files in ~ and when running as sudo ~ isn't changed (without -i or -H). This results in bug 1828208 launchpadlib is not the only thing to suffer from this feature of sudo; I'm going to start an email list discussion about ubuntu's handling of $HOME under sudo. for now, if testing with my ppa build, add-apt-repository should be run with 'sudo -H' (or sudo -i), and it has a temporary check to prevent running under plain 'sudo'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645404 Title: Support Private PPAs Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Cosmic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Disco: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Eoan: In Progress Bug description: Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support adding private PPAs. software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets permission denied trying to read the ppa.
