✨ ubuntu-upload-permission ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ubuntu-upload-permission from the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood Ubuntu dev tooling. it's giving "do i actually have permission to upload this or am i about to get humbled" energy, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ubuntu-upload-permission — query upload rights and (optionally) list the people and teams with upload rights for a package

like. it literally checks ur upload rights and can also spill the tea on WHO has them. lowkey a two-for-one. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ubuntu-upload-permission [options] package

options first, package last, no cap. that's the whole vibe.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the deal: ubuntu-upload-permission checks if the user has upload permissions for package. that's the main character task, fr fr.

and then — plot twist — if you pass the --list-uploaders option, it will list all the people and teams that do have upload rights for package. so you get the receipts. the whole guest list. everyone with the keys to the upload kingdom. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -r RELEASE, --release=RELEASE — Query permissions in RELEASE. Default: current development release. so if you don't say which release, it just assumes the current dev one, which is very "whatever's happening rn" of it.
  • -a, --list-uploaders — List all the people and teams who have upload rights for package. this is the option that makes the whole thing a little gossip session. 🫶
  • -t, --list-team-members — List all the members of every team with rights. (Implies --list-uploaders). so yeah, it drags --list-uploaders along with it whether you asked or not — it's a package deal bestie.
  • -h, --help — Display a help message and exit. the classic "wait what were the flags again" escape hatch. 🙈

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

  • 0 — You have the necessary upload rights. slay. you ate. go upload. 👑
  • 1 — You don't have the necessary upload rights. it's giving not-yet-bestie. 😭
  • 2 — There was an error. 💀 something went wrong, and no, it's not about your rights.
