Launchpad PPA beta moving to production

[Matthew Revell]

Hello everyone,

Important notice for PPA beta testers
--------------------------------------

As part of today's 1.1.8 release, we are moving the Personal Package 
Archive beta to Launchpad's live production environment - launchpad.net.

We'll announce the 1.1.8 release on the launchpad-users mailing list and 
on the Launchpad News blog (news.launchpad.net). Some time after you see 
the announcement, you will need to:

1. Activate your individual or team PPA in production Launchpad, by 
clicking the "Activate PPA" link on your profile or team page, then 
following the on-screen instructions.
2. Upload your source packages to upload.launchpad.net.
3. When your packages have been built, inform your PPA's users of the 
new PPA's URL.

Please note: When we release Launchpad 1.1.8, you will no longer be able 
to upload to your dogfood PPA. However, it will remain available for 
downloads until the 5th September.

Your PPA on production Launchpad will work in the same way as your 
dogfood PPA. However, the URLs you use will change slightly:

* "upload.dogfood.launchpad.net" becomes "ppa.launchpad.net".
* your PPA's overview page will be https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+archive
* your PPA will be served from ppa.launchpad.net.

If you have any trouble moving to your new PPA, please email 
ppa-beta at launchpad.net.

Thank you for helping us test Personal Package Archives. Your feedback 
has been invaluable.
