Re: New features in autobuilder and Extras Assistant
Hi, I was able to use dput option -u to skip the signed check to upload a unsigned package successfully. I welcome these changes and am thankful for them.

This is specially interesting for newcomers not used to debian packaging. Making this error explicit helps both developers/packagers (who won't be able to break the repository with this kind of mistake) and users (who will be happy being able to install their favourite packages). > Package signing no longer required. > > The autobuilder and Extras Assistant no longer require packages to be GPG > signed.

New features in autobuilder and Extras Assistant
This week we've added some new features to the autobuilder and Extras Assistant. I hope developers will like these changes: Rejecting packages when the exact version is uploaded for the second time. The autobuilder has been modified to reject a package when the same version is already available in the extras-devel repository. This change will force developers to increase their package version number after each successful upload and build. In the past we've had problems in the repository where a package was uploaded twice and caused 'Size Mismatch' errors[1]. Package signing no longer required. The autobuilder and Extras Assistant no longer require packages to be GPG signed. It seemed to cause a lot of grief for developers without any real benefits. This change is targetted to making uploading packages easier. Every uploader has to be authenticated to upload a package, so we can already trace back the uploader. The autobuilder signs packages which are moved into the repository. Upload to multiple repositories at the same time. You can now use the Extras Assistant[2] to upload a source package to chinook and diablo at the same time. No need to do two separate uploads anymore. This feature has been requested for quite some time, let's hope it helps. -- Niels Breet maemo.org webmaster [1] https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3488 [2] https://garage.maemo.org/extras-assistant/index.php ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
