** Description changed:
+ [impact]
+
+ syncpackage saves the dsc file(s) to disk but doesn't need to
+
+ [test case]
+
+ ubuntu@lp1928946-h:~$ syncpackage --simulate --no-lp -r bionic
ubuntu-dev-tools
+ The use of --no-lp is not recommended for uploads targeted at Ubuntu. The
archive-admins discourage its use, except for fakesyncs.
+ Downloading ubuntu-dev-tools_0.181.dsc from deb.debian.org (0.002 MiB)
+ Using existing file ubuntu-dev-tools_0.181.dsc
+ Downloading ubuntu-dev-tools_0.164.dsc from archive.ubuntu.com (0.002 MiB)
+
+
+ check if the dsc file(s) are now in $PWD:
+
+ ubuntu@lp1928946-h:~$ ls -l *dsc
+ -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 2356 Jun 2 15:40 ubuntu-dev-tools_0.164.dsc
+ -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 2219 Jun 2 15:40 ubuntu-dev-tools_0.181.dsc
+
+ [regression potential]
+
+ any regression would likely cause incorrectly saved dsc files, or
+ incorrect failure to save a dsc file to disk when using any of the
+ various scripts included in the ubuntu-dev-tools pacakge, or other
+ scripts that use the python3-ubuntutools package library
+
+ [scope]
+
+ this is needed only for h and later
+
+ this was introduced by commit fed562405d76ab85e2aab96ec0357457eebafcb2
+ which is included in 0.179, so this bug does not exist in g or earlier
+
+ [original description]
+
It seems that starting from a few versions, syncpackage downloads .dscs,
stores them in ~, and leaves them there.
AFAIK there is no need to download anything to sync a package, as
launchpad should be able to handle everything through its API, so I'd
say the bug is threefold:
1) shouldn't download anything if not needed (when is it needed?!)
2) shouldn't store things in ~ at all, use a tempdir in TMPDIR instead
3) shouldn't leave temporary files around

Currently running version 0.181 under Debian unstable.
