Private PPA request for ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg

Any change of getting this done by the weekend? Would like to start making use of this PPA for private builds. Thanks.

Hi,

Private PPAs are a commercial feature of Launchpad, and not a facility we generally make available for free. Can I ask if you have an existing commercial relationship of some kind with Canonical (e.g. a paid Ubuntu Pro subscription)?

Hi, thanks for the response and I did not know that private PPAs are a commercial feature only. No, I do not have an existing commercial relationship with Canonical. Looking at https://ubuntu.com/pricing/pro it seems that Ubuntu Pro for a single workstation costs $25/year. Would a minimal level of commercial relationship with Canonical such as that (ie. paying for Ubuntu Pro on one workstation for $25/year) be sufficient for me to have a private PPA?

Thanks for reaching out. A colleague will follow-up.

Still waiting on a follow-up. Can someone please provide an answer as to what level of commercial relationship with Canonical is required for me to have a private PPA? Thank you.

Sorry for the delay - it took me a while to find the conversation I remembered for a similar request a while back. Unfortunately, the internal message I remembered was in terms of the old Ubuntu Advantage structure, which was replaced recently; I'm not sure exactly how to translate that into Ubuntu Pro terms, and I don't have the authority to set pricing policy here.

I've reached out internally to a few of the support managers who were involved in that previous conversation to ask them to give me an authoritative answer, which I'll then make sure goes into our internal documentation so that we can answer this sort of thing more quickly in future. I'll let you know as soon as I get an answer.

Thanks Colin, appreciate you following up and I'll wait patiently from this point until you get the definitive answer.

I've been advised that a basic Pro subscription will be sufficient.

Thank you very much for the confirmation. Have subscribed to Ubuntu Pro Desktop just now under my main email address. Please let me know if there is any further information (ie. invoice number) you require.

There are now two PPAs that I would like made private if possible: ppa:savoury1/savos and ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for your assistance!
