---------------------------
Two major areas of development in this release focused on documentation
and the introduction of a SourcePublication class.
Man pages are now provided for all of the subcommands, and the help text
for each is now correct. Process documentation for releasing,
maintaining, and developing the application are more filled in as well.
The SourcePublication class provides tracking of the three data
"coordinates" (Package, Version, Series) that fully define a source
package's release state in place and time. Several subcommands have
been internally refactored to use this class for better code clarity,
with some command line options added to allow their use in filtering
what is displayed in output.
Additionally:
* The powerpc architecture is demoted to legacy, and the riscv64 has
been promoted to a default architecture when creating a new PPA.
* The pocket for newly created PPAs can now be specified via the --pocket
option, and can be set as the default in the ppa-dev-tools config file.
This is handy when enabling the '-proposed' pocket for a new PPA.
Thanks to Simon Chopin for this new feature.
* Some refinement has been made to handle temporary inconsistencies in the
Launchpad-reported "devel series" after one -devel series has frozen but
the next has opened. This had caused some confusion in the ppa tool's
behavior during this period of the development cycle.
* The show command received a number of enhancements. As part of the
aforementioned SourcePackage refactor, it now filters the list of source
package publications more concisely by default, and allows better
control via some new command line options. The command also now
prints a handy direction on installing the PPA, thanks to a suggestion
by Christian Ehrhardt.
* Emoji support is improved for better behavior with the Alacritty
terminal emulator. Thanks to Florent 'Skia' Jacquet for this
enhancement.
* The test suite has received heavy attention through fixes, expanded
coverage to 58%, and correction of lint/flake/tox issues.
This release is also serving as a pre-release of an upcoming version
1.0 hopefully within the next few weeks, after wish maintainership of
the software will be taken up by Renan Rodrigo Barbosa going forward.
About Ppa Dev Tools
-------------------
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 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
By Snap...
$ sudo snap install ppa-dev-tools
[NOTE: Snap build for 0.7 is not available yet, due to some problems
with the snapcraft machinery, but hopefully should be available over
the coming days.]
