(I think) the only constraint is that your uploaded file must have either ".commands" or ".dak-commands" appended to the file name. The epoch you use doesn't actually matter. > Is the Fingerprint: the one of the Maintainer's key?

I've personally stuck with manually creating dak-commands files, clearsigning it with gpg, and uploading it to ftp.upload.debian.org with a ftp client. There are tools available in the archive to make this entire process relatively painless (dput-ng), but I haven't actually switched to using dput-ng myself (mostly due to inertia, and also IIRC it involves dput config file changes). > Finally, when I tried to upload the file > > dcut -U olebole-1436862204.dak-commands ftp-master > > I get the (confusing) message: > > Error: I'm insisting on the .commands extension, which > "olebole-1436862204.dak-commands" doesnt seem to have. > Uploading olebole-1436862204.dak-commands: done. > > Is this now going to be processed? Or is it an error? If you get an automated email back from ftpmaster, then yes it's processed. You can also check dm.txt [1].
