Steffen, Thanks. One discrepancy was that I was attempting HTTP before, though I did switch to ftp ... regardless, following your instructions, I was able to FTP properly!
However, after uploading, my package did not appear under "my packages" at mentors.debian.net -- is this not instantaneous, or does it take some amount of time longer than a few minutes? My name on mentors: Herbert Elwood Gilliland III My name in signage: Herb Gilliland Email is identical, though. Doesn't appear on mentors.debian.net either for today.. but maybe I'm just expecting it too soon? -h p.s. log: [20:25:16 main]$ dput mentors-ftp fed_0.94a-1_i386.changes Checking signature on .changes gpg: Signature made Wed Apr 6 20:24:49 2016 EDT using RSA key ID DE8473B0 gpg: Good signature from "Herb Gilliland (fed author) < [email protected]>" Good signature on /home/main/temp/fed_0.94a-1_i386.changes.
