| [16:18] <Guest75493> can anyone confirm that I can get superseded ubuntu packages with the launchpad python api? | |

| [16:42] <cjwatson> Guest75493: for some time, at least. they will eventually be garbage-collected, although not in a timeframe you're especially likely to care about | |
| [16:43] <cjwatson> you can for example use Archive.getPublishedBinaries | |
| [16:44] <cjwatson> then each of the resulting BPPHs has a binaryFileUrls() method (if you're using the "devel" version of the API) | |
| [16:49] <Guest75493> the timeframe I am interested in is at least three months. | |
| [16:49] <cjwatson> that'll be fine | |
| [16:50] <cjwatson> the absolute bare minimum for GCing old binaries is 18 months and in practice it's always rather more than that | |
| [16:54] <Guest75493> I see. So if I know I had mysql-client_5.5.35-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_all.deb a few months ago, because of disaster I lost that file, and the package has been updated in the meantime, I can fetch that file again? | |
| [17:03] <cjwatson> sure | |
| [17:04] <Guest75493> Cool, thank you very much. | |
| [17:04] <cjwatson> you can just download it from the web UI | |
| [17:04] <cjwatson> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/mysql-client | |
| [17:05] <cjwatson> pick your architecture although it won't matter much for _all.deb | |
| [17:05] <Guest75493> I see, that is good to know. | |
| [17:06] <Guest75493> Right now the api gives mit a 503 for getPublishedBinaries ... I gues since this is not such an important service, it is not so stable? | |
| [17:06] <cjwatson> no, it should always work fine. what exact call are you making? | |
| [17:07] <Guest75493> ubuntu = launchpad.distributions["ubuntu"] | |
| [17:07] <Guest75493> archive = ubuntu.main_archive | |
| [17:07] <Guest75493> archive.getPublishedBinaries() | |
| [17:07] <cjwatson> you can't just call it with no arguments, that's a ridiculously huge search to ask for | |
| [17:07] <Guest75493> ... i was allready wondering ... | |
| [17:08] <cjwatson> give it binary_name and version | |
| [17:08] <cjwatson> but for a single file you're better off just using the web UI | |
| [17:09] <Guest75493> eventually I will have to rebuild a mirror in the exact state as it was on day X, so I will need all packages for a specific release and architecture | |
| [17:12] <Guest75493> cool, works. thank you very much!!! | |
