Package: dgit
Version: 12.12
Severity: wishlist
dgit can upload to the main Debian archive and various overlay suites
(security, proposed-updates, backports), but not currently to fasttrack
(https://fasttrack.debian.net/). I'm experimenting with using fasttrack
for leaf packages that are not supportable with minimal changes for the
duration of a stable release, like src:openjk (which is "backported" from
experimental, and has never had any sort of a formal upstream release).
fasttrack is technically a separate archive (separate dak instance) like
-security, but it exists in the same package/version namespace as the
main Debian archive, so I think it could make sense to push its packages'
source to dgit.debian.org.
I tried this configuration in ~/.gitconfig, based on how -security works:
[dgit-distro "debian-fasttrack"]
archive-query = "aptget:"
upload-host = fasttrack
nominal-distro = debian
[dgit-suite "*-fasttrack"]
distro = debian-fasttrack
together with this in ~/.dput.cf:
[fasttrack]
fqdn = fasttrack.debian.net
incoming = /pub/UploadQueue/
login = anonymous
allow_dcut = 1
method = ftp
allowed_distributions = (?:bookworm|trixie)-fasttrack
but attempting to upload here failed with:
$ dgit push-built -C /path/to/openjk_*_source+amd64.changes
dgit: invalid configuration: bad syntax for (nominal) distro
`ARRAY(0x55f9655a93e8)' (does not match /^[0-9a-zA-Z][-+.0-9a-zA-Z]*
Would it be possible to either support fasttrack by default, or document
it in the man page as an example of an overlay suite?
(Normally I would use dgit push-source, but fasttrack doesn't currently
have buildds or any other sort of autobuilder, so maintainer-built
binaries are the only option; and as a result it would have to be
out-of-scope for tag2upload.)
Thanks,
