The `ppa tests` command received a bunch of bug fixes to autopkgtest trigger URL generation and test result processing, along with some noteworthy packaging advancements in this 0.6 release.
ppa-dev-tools is a Launchpad API client that lets you create and manage Personal Package Archives (PPAs) from the command-line, run autopkgtests against them, and check results. E.g.: $ ppa create my-ppa $ dput *.changes ppa:<lpuser>/my-ppa $ ppa wait my-ppa $ ppa tests my-ppa $ ppa destroy my-ppa There's multiple ways to install: By Snap... $ sudo snap install ppa-dev-tools By PPA... $ sudo add-apt-repository -ys ppa:bryce/ppa-dev-tools $ sudo apt-get install ppa-dev-tools By PIP... $ pip install ppa-dev-tools By source... $ git clone https://git.launchpad.net/ppa-dev-tools $ cd ppa-dev-tools $ sudo python3 ./setup.py install Notable changes from 0.5 to 0.6 ------------------------------- With this release comes some significant improvements in packaging of ppa-dev-tools, including completion of the transition to modern Python build packaging and dropping of the old setup.py approach. Of even more note, ppa-dev-tools is now included in Debian testing, so can now be installed directly on that operating system; hopefully soon it will be available from Ubuntu oracular as well. Meanwhile, the snap packaging has been significantly improved, including snapshot builds, builds for all supported architectures, better handling of Launchpad credentials, and a registered alias for the 'ppa' command. Several irregularities were found in various corner cases with the parsing, processing, and display of test results for the `ppa tests` command. These are fixed and the testsuite expanded to cover a wider variety of test (mis-)behaviors. The --package argument now filters the results as well as the triggers, which will be helpful for users of PPA containing many packages. As well, the `ppa tests` command's handling of triggers has received some fixes that were causing them to not be displayed in some circumstances, or to be improperly encoded for some package version numbers. Thanks to all the contributors to this release: Alberto Contreras, Alexandre Detiste, Heinrich Schuchardt, Mitchell Dzurick, Nathan Pratta Teodosio, Simon Chopin and Benjamin Drung.
