hmm, is this
https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ppa
alive and active? latest build seems to miss change on 15.2.2012 ...

i actually intended the easy way. bzr checkout, autoupdate via cron and run the dist making script. upload to sf.net/files .

@mike: is there an easier way through launchpad?

I just requested a current build and Hardy was the only one that failed to build, not sure why.

It looks like LP does include a version of the tarball in their package.  If you go to https://code.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/daily/+packages, then click on a release, you will see a .tar.gz.  It's not an identical format, but it's close.
