Ubuntu PPAs with nightly and stable release packages about ddclient

[rhansen]

Packages for v3.9.1 are now available for all supported Ubuntu releases except for 16.04 (Xenial): https://code.launchpad.net/~ddclient/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. These packages are automatically built from the Debian package repository (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ddclient), so whenever the Debian package repository changes the packages in the stable PPA will be automatically updated.

I'm still working on a Xenial stable package, and on daily packages.

New Debian packaging is getting close to ready (see https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ddclient). I have submitted it to Debian devs (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962159); they will review it and give me feedback. Once the dust settles I can start working on automating PPA builds.

Hi! Thiago from Launchpad.net here.

Just to let you all know, we are transfering the ownership of ddclient project at Launchpad to rhansen, as requested at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/690990 .

Let me know if you have any problem.

[rhansen]

Thank you Thiago!

I created a group for us; added myself, @SuperSandro2000, and @wimpunk to it; and set it as the maintainer for the project. @DaveSophoServices: let me know your Launchpad username (if you have one) and I'll add it to the group as well.

[wimpunk]

Great. Good work @rhansen. Btw, I've added you as a maintainer of the ddclient project.

Daily builds are now set up: https://code.launchpad.net/~ddclient/+archive/ubuntu/daily
I haven't yet tried using that PPA, so it could be broken in horrible ways. But that's what daily builds are for, right? 😉
If you notice any problems, please let me know (you can open an issue here).

I gave up on building packages for Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)—its debhelper version is too old and busted.

[SuperSandro2000]

@wimpunk @DaveSophoServices I would be totally for that if you have no objections.

[DaveSophoServices]

I wouldn’t object. Thank you Richard for the offer!

[wimpunk]

Me neither.
Any objections about giving @rhansen the acccess as the rest of the team?
Meanwhile I search for my lauchpad password.

[DaveSophoServices]

No objections.
