Package: dput
Version: 0.9.2.35ubuntu1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I've created a patch to add support for sftp transport and the ability to
pass an "argument" to a host. The latter allows you to have a single stanza
in dput.cf instead of several for almost identical host configurations. I've
modified the ppa stanza to take advantage of this feature, enabling me to
upload to any ppa without modifying dput.cf by simplying appending 'ppa'
with a colon and the launchpad id of the ppa. So, for example, to upload to
my own PPA I would type: dput ppa:cody-somerville <package.changes>

I've filed a bug to get this patch included in Ubuntu and figured it would be
of interest to Debian as well. You can find the bug report and patch at
