Description: ppa-copy-packages
        =================
        
        Copy published PPA packages from one release pocket to another.
        
        We build a few Debian packages containing various helpful scripts (i.e. the
        packages have Architecture: all and do not need to be recompiled when system
        library versions change).  We want them to be available for all supported
        Ubuntu releases.  So we upload a version built for the oldest supported LTS
        release to our PPA and use this script to copy the built packages to all other
        releases in the same PPA::
        
          ppa-copy-packages -O pov -s xenial -t bionic disco -p pov-admin-tools ...
        
        I do the same thing with gtimelog, which is a pure Python program and also
        doesn't need to be recompiled::
        
          ppa-copy-packages -O gtimelog -s xenial -t bionic disco -p gtimelog
        
        And sometimes, when I'm feeling brave, I try this trick with C programs such as
        pwsafe::
        
          ppa-copy-packages -O mg -s xenial -t bionic disco -p pwsafe
        
        Authentication is taken care of by launchpadlib_, which opens a browser window
        on first run and asks you to log in and authorize its access token (which is
        stored in the system keyring for your convenience).
