Hi! Just a thought from the peanut gallery: Otto, instead of having the ftpmasters dig through backups/snapshot.d.o for all binaries and manually reinsert them as you requested, a long task they haven't drilled at all, please make a no-change (or with your VCS tip) sourceful upload, so they can ACCEPT it with a single command. Human time is costly, machine time is cheap. The cost of such an upload would be buildds needing to recompile mariadb on all architectures, but it's not like we're in the week-before-freeze or just-released rush, the buildds are not very loaded, and the electricity cost is nothing compare to what we'd pay the ftpmasters had they demanded any reasonable rate.
