So multiple ssh subprocesses should not be a huge issue, you could after all use ControlMaster and stuff to reuse the connection.
That said, it seems reasonable to create a shell script, or a Python script and execute that on the remote from stdin. python3 and python3-apt should be available on all systems I think to do config lookups, and the content of files can be embedded into a generated script in base64. That said, it would be an entirely different code path which I think might be worse than it maybe not working if the remote is at an older version. -- 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.
