Dear Maintainer,
while trying to dput to an ubuntu PPA, the upload failed with the following
message:
Rejected:
Source/binary (i.e. mixed) uploads are not allowed.
I thought it would be useful if there was a script/program that could convert a
mixed .changes file into a source-only .changes file.
I'm calling it dput-c2sc but if you can think of a better name then please go
ahead and change it!
If there's a better way to do this then please let me know.
I spotted the TODO file:
5. Restrict upload types (source, binary etc.) in config
I don't think this is exactly what I'm proposing, maybe it could be a dput
option - I don't know enough about how .changes files are handled to be sure.
