Hi Steve, Happy year 2009 and beyond to you :)

The problem with this is that there maybe more than one file that was partially uploaded. Also, delaying the message to the end means that the .changes file would be uploaded and the archive cron job may kick in and reject the upload completely (in the time that a dcut can be issued and email ack response received). It is best if we display the message as we go, so that one can correct the issue (dcut and retry) _before_ uploading the .changes file. Cheers, Giridhar PS: I closed this bug in 0.9.2.37 that I uploaded the other day, but we can always make any change that we like in the next version. So please do let me know if you have more suggestions. -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://people.debian.org/~appaji/
