Hi Rick

These are two separate publishing states. The main one is for the source which is published, and the other is referring to the build itself, which is not yet published.

@Julian, I'd consider this evidence of a confusing UI rather than an
invalid bug. How would you feel about keeping it open tagged
confusing-ui (as many code bugs are).

Yeah I was thinking about this overnight and had the same reaction. Sorry Rick, I was a little too eager in marking it invalid.

I agree with the bug.

For a PPA what matters the most for users are the resulting binaries. Quickly saying "Published" just because the source is there, well, that's nothing, right? After all, the source is what users upload. It should only say "Published" in the status column when the build is really done, and maybe the "Published" column should be renamed to "Uploaded".
