[Merge] lp:~brian-murray/ubuntu-archive-tools/sru-remove into lp:ubuntu-archive-tools

[Brian Murray]

Brian Murray has proposed merging lp:~brian-murray/ubuntu-archive-tools/sru-remove into lp:ubuntu-archive-tools.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Package Archive Administrators (ubuntu-archive)

For more details, see:

This makes it easier to remove packages from -proposed that have failed to be verified in a timely fashion.

It includes a wrapper sru-remove that calls remove-package with a stock message, and updates the SRU bug reports by setting the task to "Won't Fix", removing the verification-needed and / or verification-needed-$series tags, unsubscribing ubuntu-sru and sru-verifcation, and commenting on the bug report. Here is an example of the work it did:

https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/haproxy/+bug/1038139

It also includes a change to sru-report to include the packages that need to be removed due to a failure to verify e.g.:

sru-remove -s precise -p haproxy 1038139

Feel free to test it using these removable packages:

sru-remove -s precise -p charm-tools 1182905
sru-remove -s precise -p haproxy 1038139
sru-remove -s trusty -p haproxy 1038139
sru-remove -s trusty -p seabios 1366868
