upload to ppa for multi dists

This script seems to trivial to me. To upload upload multiple dists, you could simply run

dput ppa:<user>/<ppa> ${PROGRAM}_${VERSION}~${dist1}_source.changes ${PROGRAM}_${VERSION}~${dist2}_source.changes ${PROGRAM}_${VERSION}~${dist3}_source.changes

and so on.

BTW, we have now backportpackage in ubuntu-dev-tools, which is capable of doing what your script does.

in natty

dpkg -L ubuntu-dev-tools | grep backport
zsh: done dpkg -L ubuntu-dev-tools |
zsh: exit 1 grep backport

upload it further, the main is - generate *_source.changes

O, my fucking god!

I have a new package, I need to load it in ppa for natty, maverick and lucid
How much I have to do with that script?

The backportpackage script is very new. It will be released with the next upload of ubuntu-dev-tools (0.108). If you can't wait, you can run following command to create the package:

bzr branch lp:ubuntu-dev-tools
cd ubuntu-dev-tools
bzr bd

Look at the man page of backportpackage. It has examples in it.

hm, work, but:
  File "/home/ivan/ubuntu-dev-tools/backportpackage", line 234, in do_backport
    if 0 != do_build(workdir, package, release, bp_version, builder):
  File "/home/ivan/ubuntu-dev-tools/backportpackage", line 190, in do_build
    if opts.update:
NameError: global name 'opts' is not defined

def do_upload(workdir, package, bp_version, upload):

not have -y option - ask for evry upload?

    if not opts.upload and not opts.build:
        p.error('Nothing to do')

why? if I want get only changes files and not upload or build deb packages.

    check_call(['debuild', '-S', '-sa'], cwd=srcdir)

only -sa ?

upload to many dists in one ppa, and backports -sd is better.

Please file separate bugs against ubuntu-dev-tools (with the title start with "[backportpackage]") for comment #8, #9, #10, and #11

also, variable opts advisable to make a global - it is read-only, and drag it over all functions of silly, or at least pass vs at once rather than piecemeal
