[Bug 845487] Re: Debian source publication checks have broken

[Stefano Rivera]

Natty still has an SRU in proposed (LP: #785923), but once it's
cleared...

** Description changed:

  This morning, the Launchpad developers ran an SQL query to convert
  Pending source publications in Debian to Published.  The reason they
  were Pending was that the program used to import Debian was the same as
  that used to initially import Ubuntu into Launchpad, and that initial
  import needed to set everything to Pending so that the first publisher
  run would work.  However, this was inappropriate for representing the
  state of the Debian archive, so things are now being changed over to
  Published.  Some newly-created records will still be created as Pending
  until the next Launchpad deployment.
  
  This change has broken ubuntu-dev-tools, because there are some bits of
  code that assume that Debian publications will always be Pending and not
  Published.
  
  Internally, Launchpad has this:
  
  active_publishing_status = (
-     PackagePublishingStatus.PENDING,
-     PackagePublishingStatus.PUBLISHED,
-     )
+     PackagePublishingStatus.PENDING,
+     PackagePublishingStatus.PUBLISHED,
+     )
  
  ... and to be honest I think that's probably correct for most of the
  stuff ubuntu-dev-tools is doing, regardless of whether it's looking at
  Debian or Ubuntu; it would make ubuntu-dev-tools effectively more
  responsive if it didn't have to wait for a publisher run before noticing
  that a package version exists in Ubuntu, for example.
  
  Unfortunately, you can't pass multiple statuses in one API call (bug
  845486).  I suppose this either leaves us making multiple calls or
  asking for all statuses and filtering afterwards.
+ 
+ == SRU Justification ==
+ Breaks anything that looks for Debian source records in launchpad, such as requestsync in --lp mode.
+ 
+ == SRU Test Case ==
+ Only in maverick or lucid: manage-credentials create -c ubuntu-dev-tools -l 2
+ Try to sync a package: requestsync --lp ibid
+ Good: Continues with usual sync process
+ Bad: E: The package 'ibid' does not exist in the Debian primary archive in 'sid'
