Bug Description

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,
    )

... 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'

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * doc/requestsync.1: Correct default value for REQUESTSYNC_SMTP_SERVER

    (LP: #844734)
  * Debian source publication records are all Published now, not pending
    (LP: #845487)
  * requestsync:
    - Add nice error messages to gpg-signing code, rather than simple
      assertions (LP: #537288)
    - Extract current Ubuntu delta from changelog entries and provide for
      editing (LP: #547925)
  * submittodebian:
    - Don't parse the entire changelog, to avoid bumping into past illegal
      version numbers (LP: #727314)
    - Iterate over changelog blocks rather than using Changelog's private
      _blocks list.
  * LP: #806633:
    - ubuntutools.update_maintainer: Don't use strict changelog parsing
    - sponsor-patch: Perform strict validation on the first changelog entry.

    - Software Sources isn't on the Administration menu, post Gnome 2
      (LP: #841975)
    - Use apt-get rather than aptitude.
  * Removed get-build-deps, mk-build-deps -ir is equivalent (LP: #158108)
  * ubuntutools.archive:
    - Add quiet option to silence downloading.
    - Use wget-style progress bar (fixed width) (LP: #845787)
  * Bump python-debian B-D and Depends to 0.1.20 for unicode Changelog
    reading.
  * backportpackage: Use absolute path of workdir when test-building.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * syncpackage: Fix typo.

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * ubuntutools/requestsync: Follow PEP 8 naming conventions.

Stefano, oddly enough, none of the changes files in your uploads include the Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed section referring to this bug, despite your reference to it being properly formatted... any ideas? Leaving them in the queues for now.

Bah, that'd be carelessness on my part when preparing them on a Debian box. If you want to clear them from the queues, I can re-do the uploads.

Hm, the result of getPublishedSources seems to depend on the API version that is used when login.

For example, you can run this command from trunk:

./sponsor-patch -s 850556

and it will find 0.0+r4091-1.1. But if you add version='devel' to Launchpad.login_with in ubuntutools/sponsor_patch/sponsor_patch.py then it will find 0.0+r4091-1.2.

0.0+r4091-1.2 appears to still be Pending:
