It will fail if the remote add-apt-repository isn't at a newer version (i.e. that supports the '-' param). Additionally, the gpg has to be manually added, since (for private ppas) that can't be queried without logging into lp, which is what the remote session is trying to avoid. I think simply creating the resulting files - sourceparts, netrcparts, and trustedparts - on the remote system is going to be more reliable and simpler than using the remote system's installed add-apt-repository to try to process things into place. Calling apt-config on the remote system to gather the right directories to place the files should be simple; I think the hardest part will be figuring out how to do it without multiple subprocess runs to call ssh to 1) gather apt-config on the remote system and then 2) scp/sftp or ssh create-from-stdin the 3 files, and then 3) make sure they are the correct mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645404 Title: Support Private PPAs Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Cosmic: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Disco: In Progress Status in software-properties source package in Eoan: In Progress Bug description: Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support adding private PPAs. software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be possible for it to get the password etc. ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: python-software-properties 0.82.4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/645404/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
