[Bug 645404] Re: Support Private PPAs

[Carl Karsten]

please consider the CI case: headless process that runs periodically for
months without user interaction.

something like: deploy a private key (or similarly sensitive secret)
file and a publicly readable script (apt-add-repository...) and it just
runs, no browser, no user, no typing.

Title:
  Support Private PPAs

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
