It’s pretty easy to create a PPA. There already is a Launchpad account and I’ll happily take care of it.

However, we need to sign the Code of Conduct first, using an OpenPGP key. I believe that this can be done only by a release manager.

Here is the documentation for uploading to the PPA : https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading

I fear that this needs to be added to the documentation too. Creating a subticket.

Woohoo! Now you will have to teach me how to deal with this :)

I have a doubt: is the plan to use that collective account to upload to the PPA? If yes, I’m afraid it might create problems we perhaps don’t want to deal with, e.g.:

  • will tails@ receive PPA-related email?
  • what OpenPGP key(s) can we allow to sign uploads to the PPA?

I believe so.

From what I understood but not researched in detail is that we can create a team and everytbody in the team can upload to the PPA.

I don’t think this is a valid option.

This looks good at first glance.

Let’s me check if it sounds good, and check that sajolida is happy with the current state of things, before we close this ticket. Updating Feature #10702 with this in mind.

It first glance it looks good: right version, right distros, binaries built on the right architectures. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/228205210/buildlog_ubuntu-wily-amd64.tails-installer_4.4.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1~wily_BUILDING.txt.gz looks sane.

=> sajolida, the two remaining subtasks are yours so I’m reassigning the parent ticket to you as well.
