Bug Description

  https://launchpad.net/~canonical-ux/+archive/walled-garden/+edit

<spm> sladen: ahh. that was subtle. turns out your PPA was disabled from building. effectively. There's a flag that Private PPA's have via the +edit, "Publish"
<spm> and that had been unchecked. and hence, you're top of the queue, but never get built.
<spm> One package has now built, the other is building.

Ideally the text should make it clear that "published" won't actually publish anything (it's a _private_ PPA), but still stop the build system working, prevent any packages getting built, and therefore prevent the user wanting to publish the archive (classic Catch-22).

See also bug #690484.

This is no longer an issue, but not by changing the UI: rather, private builds are now dispatched without needing to wait for their source to be published.
