It does not. dput-ng is entirely compatible with dput config files, it just adds a new format (json-based) if you want to, but you are not required to use it. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: http://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

My understanding is that yodack has been replaced/superseded by dput-ng (the latter is actually in the archive). You'll need to use dput-ng's dcut(1), not that of dput, for the above command to work.

(I think) the only constraint is that your uploaded file must have either ".commands" or ".dak-commands" appended to the file name.

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].

Granting DM rights as a sponsor
Hi, I want to grant DM rights for a package that I sponsored, and I am a bit confused how this works in real life. According to [1], I should create a file with the following format: --8< Archive: ftp.debian.org Uploader: Ole Streicher Action: dm Fingerprint: 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF Allow: plotly --8< The file should be named $login-EPOCH.dak-commands (say 'ansgar-1348293.dak-commands'). First question that arised: what is EPOCH here? `date +%s`? "login" is probably *my* login, and not one belonging to the maintainer, right? Is the Fingerprint: the one of the Maintainer's key? When I then try to sign the file, debsign is confused by the ".dak-commands" suffix, which already was reported as bug report [2]. Since the bug report is still open, there may be an other standard way to sign? I finally used gpg -u -a --clearsign olebole-1436862204.dak-commands and then renamed the .asc. file back to the original one. Is this the way of choice? 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?
