Please change "Origin" and "Label" in the Release file on archive.canonical.com

Adding a software-center task, this is currently responsible for making the detection of new repositories fail when "partner" got added. Because of the same origin it will fail to detect the new channel and fail to index it.

Steve, this is pretty easy to fix, there's already some code in the publisher that futzes about with the Origin etc.

Michael, where are you suggesting that "Canonical" and "Partner archive" would be shown in the interface?

Matthew, I'm not suggesting that at all. But I need a different Origin/Label than the ubuntu main archive is using.

This is most likely the cause for e.g. bug #564768

Bumping to lucid-updates, as it doesn't look as though the Soyuz change will be available in time to get a matching software-center fix prepared and tested for 10.04 final. It shouldn't hurt to do this in an SRU instead once Soyuz has been changed, and we can change partner's Release file post-release with little trouble.

Fixed in stable r10986 <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/stable/revision/10986>

This has been QA'd on dogfood by uploading a new package to partner, and then running the publisher for partner repo.

I think this may have caused bug 604693.

Hello stevenk! The fix is definitely what we need for Software Center. Now that we have it, we can pull the (now errant) special case code that was used for detecting the the partner channel, so it did indeed make it simpler and more correct. As mpt points out, however, that special case code caused a bug in Software Center once the the Soyuz fix was deployed for lucid (see bug 604693).

mvo has made a fix for this, but I noticed that the fix does not work under maverick. The reason is that it appears that the release file hasn't been updated for maverick yet:

  http://archive.canonical.com/dists/maverick/Release

"Origin: Ubuntu
 Label: Ubuntu
 Suite: maverick
 Version: 10.10
 ..."

Can we do an upload to the partner repo in maverick, maybe a no-change rebuild or somesuch, and then rerun the publisher?
Or update it some other way?

Thanks!

If you ask Brian Thomason, he might be able to do that upload for you.

Cheers.

Thanks Julian, I checked with Brian and he's got an upload that will be ready to go in the next day or so.

Accepted software-center into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 2.1.5
