[Dan Streetman <dan.streetman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

one note to mention on changing software-properties over to using
launchpadlib for lp logins; launchpadlib will create cache files in ~
and when running as sudo ~ isn't changed (without -i or -H).  This
results in bug 1828208

launchpadlib is not the only thing to suffer from this feature of sudo;
I'm going to start an email list discussion about ubuntu's handling of
$HOME under sudo.

for now, if testing with my ppa build, add-apt-repository should be run
with 'sudo -H' (or sudo -i), and it has a temporary check to prevent
running under plain 'sudo'.

Bug description:
  Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support
  adding private PPAs.

  software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets
  permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the
  API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where
  you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be
  possible for it to get the password etc.
