Package: dput Version: 0.9.6.3 Severity: wishlist Hi,
the PTS has a great feature which shows if a package is involved in an ongoing (library) transition. Not everyone checks the PTS though before making an upload. As a result, it happens quite often that uncoordinated uploads disrupt ongoing transitions. It would be great if dput could query before the upload if the package is involved in a transition and present this information to the uploader with the option to continue or abort (with abort being the default). The release team tracks ongoing transitions and exports a yaml file at http://release.debian.org/transitions/export/packages.yaml Thanks for considering, Michael -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dput depends on: ii gnupg 1.4.12-4 ii python 2.7.2-10 dput recommends no packages.
