We'd like to move python-vte to main in breezy-updates, so that mvo's new dist-upgrade tool can easily be made available there to users wanting to upgrade to dapper. However:
lp_archive@drescher:/tmp/cjwatson$ python /srv/launchpad.net/codelines/current/scripts/ftpmaster-tools/change-override.py -n -s breezy-updates -c main -S python-vte
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/srv/launchpad.net/codelines/current/scripts/ftpmaster-tools/change-override.py", line 201, in ?
sys.exit(main())
File "/srv/launchpad.net/codelines/current/scripts/ftpmaster-tools/change-override.py", line 181, in main
arguments = init()
File "/srv/launchpad.net/codelines/current/scripts/ftpmaster-tools/change-override.py", line 137, in init
Options.distrorelease = Options.distro.getRelease(Options.distrorelease)
File "../../canonical/launchpad/database/distribution.py", line 244, in getRelease
canonical.launchpad.interfaces.launchpad.NotFoundError: 'breezy-updates'
Could you either (a) make it look for pockets such as breezy-updates automatically when using -s or (b) add a new command-line option to control which pocket it looks in? I don't mind which.
We would like to get the update-manager backport into breezy-updates soon to get more testing for the upgrade process (the update-manager will have a switch to allow upgrades to dapper).
This problem blocks a upload currently because pyton-vte is now a dependency for update-manager and people without universe in their brezy-updates line in the sources.list (the default) will not be able to upgrade.
Is there a (rough) estimation how difficult it is to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Michael
