** Description changed: + I've essentially re-written the pull-[lp|debian|uca]-source scripts, + consolidating them all to use a common codebase and extending the + functionality to allow pulling not only source but also debs, udebs, and + ddebs. + + The updates also allow specifying binary package names, which the + original pull-*-source didn't work with. + + The pull-lp-[debs|udebs|ddebs] also allows downloading otherwise "gone" + debs from Launchpad - for older packages where LP no longer lists the + binaries as existing anymore. They are actually still there, but + getting their specific URL is tricky, and not possible from the normal + LP web interface. The new pull-lp-* scripts can handle it and will + allow downloading any deb/udeb/ddeb for any older package. + + This also fixes bug 1700846, where pull-debian-source fails for older + packages where the public key that the DSC was signed with no longer is + in the keyring. + + + Original description: + Errors like the following are happening because Debian's DDE [1] is dead [2]: logan@logan-VMware:~$ pull-debian-source d-rats pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to retrieve package information from DDE: http://dde.debian.net/dde/q/udd/dist/d:debian/r:sid/p:d-rats/?t=json (<urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>) pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to find d-rats in Debian suite "sid". Maybe someone would be willing to host/maintain a new instance of DDE? Or is there another way to programmatically grab the Debian/Ubuntu source package name from the binary package name?
