Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: important We use rsync to upload files from the build daemons to coccia as it happens the FTP protocol is relatively unreliable when used across continents. rsync uses temporary files, commits 28903fa31f and 9f6be43eff added support for them in queued so that they are not deleted as stray file immediately, but only after $stray_remove_timeout.
The recent commit 0da0b72371 reverted the change done in 9f6be43eff, causing a lot of upload failures, which are most of the case recovered thanks to the rsync protocol after a few tries. However for big files (e.g. dbgsym packages) the upload takes more time than the interval between two queued runs, so it makes impossible to upload them through rsync. This require manual upload through FTP from the build daemons. Therefore can you please re-allow files starting with a dot in re_file_safe_prefix? Thanks in advance, Aurelien
