On a launchpad ppa page such as this one, what does the message "Publishing has been disabled for this archive" mean?

Looks to me like it isn't building on any supported versions. The last build revision was on O, so everything it built for is no longer supported.

  • That is what it seems like, to me as well. Does this also mean that one cannot install the PPA in question? Or, can you also run a sudo add-apt-repository against the PPA even though the warning exists? – Kevin Bowen Sep 15 '13 at 06:30
  • @Kevin: I actually tried that. It adds the repository all right, but then the update command produces some errors (404 and such like). In other words, it's just as though the packages aren't really there. – Archelon Sep 15 '13 at 12:03

    If you HAD to use the tool in question you could add it, edit the ppa line in apt/sources.list.d/ and change the dist name. Then pull the source package. Then rebuild for your current dist and see if it works. – RobotHumans Sep 15 '13 at 15:55
