move LP tools from ubuntu-dev-tools to lptools

[Benjamin Drung]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

ubuntu-dev-tools contains a bunch of scripts that are specific for Launchpad, but not only for Ubuntu. These tools should be moved from ubuntu-dev-tools to lptools. The tools in question:

get-branches
grab-attachments
lp-list-bugs
lp-project-upload
lp-set-dup
lp-shell

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

Should we perhaps make the names of get-branches, grab-attachments, and manage-credentials more lp specific while we're at it? Same reasoning as in Bug #500399

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Agreed.

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

Also note that some of these currently depend on the ubuntutools module in ubuntu-dev-tools:

grep -r "from ubuntutools" .
./bin/manage-credentials:from ubuntutools.lp.libsupport import Launchpad, translate_api_web, LEVEL
./bin/grab-attachments:from ubuntutools.config import UDTConfig
./bin/grab-attachments:from ubuntutools.lp.libsupport import get_launchpad
./bin/lp-list-bugs:from ubuntutools.lp.libsupport import get_launchpad
./bin/get-branches:from ubuntutools.lp.lpapicache import PersonTeam
./bin/lp-project-upload:from ubuntutools.lp.libsupport import get_launchpad
./bin/lp-set-dup:from ubuntutools.config import UDTConfig

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

The dependencies aren't that strong.

libsupport is a very thin launchpadlib wrapper (in many cases just returning a launchpad object)
UDTConfig is part of my recent work, adding common configuration-file support to u-d-t. The uses here are pretty minor (selecting LP instance).
lpapicache is more of an issue, as it's a non-trivial launchpadlib wrapper. Although the use here is pretty basic, and can easily be rewritten for launchpadlib

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.129

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.129) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * syncpackage: Convert to new LP API, with --no-lp available for the old
    style of operation.
  * syncpackage: Require -f/--force option to overwrite Ubuntu changes.

  [ Jelmer Vernooij ]
  * Remove several tools not specific to Ubuntu that have been migrated to
    lptools (LP: #708886):
   - get-branches (renamed to lp-get-branches)
   - grab-attachments (renamed to lp-grab-attachments)
   - lp-project-upload
   - lp-list-bugs
   - lp-set-dup
   - lp-shell

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * syncpackage: Show changes to be synced when performing native syncs.
  * syncpackage: Check the sync blacklist.
  * syncpackage: Support --bug (extra bugs to be closed by the sync) with
    native syncs. (Bugs are closed one individually, via the API, post-sync)
  * dgetlp, submittodebian, 404main: Use unicode strings for literal strings
    containing non-ASCII characters (LP: #836661)
  * Recommend pbuilder | aptitude for get-build-deps, and exit with an error
    if neither are installed (LP: #799368)
  * get-build-deps: Tell aptitude not to follow Recommends (LP: #817500)
  * doc/requestsync.1: Document the -C option (LP: #833408)
  * ubuntutools.archive: Don't write .dsc files until we pull the entire
    source package, just hold it in memory. Avoids littering the current
    directory (LP: #838361)
  * Run harvest as part of sponsor-patch (LP: #833699)

  [ Julian Taylor ]
  * requestsync: omit dups when checking for duplicate requests (LP: #842217)

  * sponsor-patch: Default to not upload the package.
  * requestsync: Do not crash on user abort (Closes: #637168).
