Pushing a signed tag and having source packages and binaries built from that doesn't rely on 3.0 (git), though. «Just» a repository somewhere with hooks that go «oh, a signed tag, let me build a source package and upload that». Might fire it off as a job to a separate process so pushing to big repos doesn't take a winter and a day, but that's really an implementation detail. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
