Package: reprepro
Version: 5.4.6+really5.3.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
With regards to the Cleanup option of conf/incoming files, reprepro(1)
states for the 'on_error' option:
on_error
If a .changes file causes errors while processing, delete it and the files
it references.
I was surprised to see that this is not always the case. The simplest
case, for example, is uploading just a .changes file: reprepro will
abort processing (as expected) with
In 'foopackage_0.1-1_amd64.changes': file 'foopackage_0.1-1.dsc' not found
in the incoming dir!
There have been errors!
However, the .changes file will remain.
So anything iterating over the .changes files, and (say) calling
`processincoming $file`, must account for this scenario, and manually
clean up on failure.
This also happens if some other file that is missing (like
.orig.tar.gz); then, other files referenced by .changes are also left in
the directory.
Best,
Christian
