Package: dput Version: 0.9.5.1 Severity: wishlist It happens on a regular basis that people (even security-team members) upload *-security uploads to ftp-master instead of security-master. This causes delays for releasing security updates and additional work for the release team to clean up the proposed-updates queues on ftp-master. Therefore, the default configuration should make it a bit more difficult to do this.
I have two ideas how this could be implemented: - Make dput use the correct host by default: add "distributions = stable-security,oldstable-security" to security-master and "distributions = testing-security" to security-master-unembargoed (I haven't tested this yet, but from the man page this should work.) - Make dput ask for confirmation or deny uploads of *-security to ftp-master. Either add the possibility for some "confirm_distributions" regex in the configration or just add "allowed_distributions = (?!-security)" to security-master. However, there are situations when such uploads are necessary, therefore there should be a command line switch (--force ?) to override the restriction. I am not sure which method would be better. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
