Hi Matt, Christian,
I'm following up on bug report 285568 about dput aborting on ftp error. I think the ugly traceback has been banned, so we need to decide how to proceed with resolving the bug.
I'm pretty much convinced that the current behaviour of stopping the upload on error is the right thing to do.
As such, I basically see three options to resolve this bug:
- Have dput print out a note about removing files with dcut when the
error 553 (Action not taken, file name not allowed) occurs,
- Adding an FAQ entry about using dcut when 553 occurs,
- Not doing anything and just close the bug.
FTP error 553 seems specific enough to put out a warning message (we can assume our filenames to be innocent enough unless someone fabricates packages with funny names), so I'm kind of leaning towards just doing that.
Kind regards
