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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645404 Title: Support Private PPAs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/645404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
