Martin Pitt (pitti) wrote : /CurrentlyBuilding should have the PPA name

The /CurrentlyBuilding file is being used by pkgbinarymangler to determine whether or not a package should get its translations stripped out, and whether it should produce a translations.tar.gz. It currently exports those fields: Package, Component, Suite, Purpose.

Purpose can be "PRIMARY" or "PPA", which we use to determine whether or not to activate pkgbinarymangler. However, since we now want to switch to using pkgbinarymangler for OEM projects, we need a more fine-grained decision. For this it would be very helpful to have a field "PPA" with the name of the PPA, e. g. "PPA: pitti/ppa" or "PPA: oem-archive/omsk".

As a workaround we can grep /etc/apt/sources.list in the buildd for the time being, but this is a bit brittle.

Thank you!
