add-apt-repository just finds out the distro your using using the output from uname and uses that, it doesnt check out information from launchpad.Considering this is an issue that is only going to effect testing users its not really an issue that I think the developers should bother with, what would be cool though is if the add-apt-repository would allow specifying the distro series.
eg. add-apt-repository --series karmic [ppa name] -- add-apt-repository should offer next highest repo version if repo for running version is not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
