Hi Marc, seems this bug is franzing out a little bit ;).

Afai remember, it was not in the cards for the 'authorized_keys-Distributors' (that triggered that wrapper in the first place) do so. Just squeeze the example or rewrite to fit for your needs ;). Wouldn't it be a nicer idea to have mini-buildd take out an inotify on a new *.changes file in the incoming directory? That way, it could act on anything appearing in the directory. Well, in short: no. It was a design decision to use (py)ftpd as internal and only way to act on incoming as it gives us 1. a canonical, always there actual (networked) upload mechanism. * Note, for example, that this is also used for the repo-builder communication by exchanging special buildrequest and buildresult changes. 2. a very easy and effective way to guard against (most) race conditions/user upload errors (double uploads, file overwrites, etc). In a nutshell, inotify-based setup gives us more freedom, but none of the two. So, at least for 1.0.x (and most likely 1.2.x) wrapping around the canonical ftp is the only way to provide other upload channels. Fwiw, i am considering to officially support a ssh wrapper via the Debian package -- so it might come with 1.2.x. But then again, I did not even have the time to kick 1.2.x deveopment off yet ;).

Source: mini-buildd Version: 1.0.7 Severity: wishlist Hi, for historic reasons, using ftp makes my toes curl. Please clarify in documentation whether it is ok to scp incoming packages to /var/lib/mini-buildd/incoming instead of using the built-in ftp service.

Please clarify in documentation whether it is ok to scp incoming packages to /var/lib/mini-buildd/incoming instead of using the built-in ftp service. mini-buildd acts on incoming ftp connections, so no, just [s]cp'ing to incoming does not do the trick.
