You are the FTP Master in Debian, right?
Yes, I am a member of the ftp team, but that doesn't matter, does it?
Why do you not see any advantages?
Because there is none?
The system seems seriously flawed if FTP Master thinks it has no benefits.
This is about package maintenance, I don't think that the ftpmaster hat has any impact here.
The flaws of the tag2upload have been discussed elsewhere ...
Personally, I am compelled by being able to change my current workflow from: gbp dch --release --commit git-buildpackage -S debsign *.changes dput ftp-master *.changes
I have seen so many broken source packages, that don't even build or don't create the intended binary packages. I always check the binary packages before I do an upload.
(wait 10-40 minutes until the FTP queue e-mail confirming upload happened)
I can't remember when there was an issue with an upload ...
gbp tag --verbose gbp push --verbose
... so I am doing this right after the dput. In case something would have gone wrong, I could move the tags ...
..to: gbp dch --release --commit git debpush --gbp,
Yes, but that doesn't look like that much of a relief. If it is about typing you could have written a script. Why is uploading and immediately tagging better here than in your first workflow?
