Launchpad itself

Would like to clear out mojodna/+archive/metricsd

Asked by Seth Fitzsimmons

I've managed to delete the PPA, but I'd like to make sure that all packages have been removed so that I can recreate it cleanly with the same name and start fresh.

If this just involves removing all packages and then re-enabling the PPA, that's fine. I uploaded some invalid packages (referring to an incorrect .orig.tar.gz), so I'd like to start from scratch.

Thanks!

You can't ever upload a different orig.tar.gz with the same version, even if you reenable the PPA. You'll have to change the version.

Right, that's what I screwed up (I'm also the upstream). What's there now includes local changes, so I'd like to replace it with the upstream tagged version.

I'm in the process of separating the packaging from the upstream source (and putting the former on launchpad per http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html), but to succeed, I'll need to re-upload the correct orig.tar.gz.

Thanks!

It's simply not possible to change the contents of that file without also changing the filename. Your best bet is probably to append +repack1 or similar to the orig.tar.gz version.

Ah, ok. How/where would I rename it?

(And will I need to modify the package to point to the repacked version?)

Rename the tarball and change the version in debian/changelog to match.

I appear to be good to go.

Thanks for your help.
