If one or both aren't working for your setup, write a patch and file a bug. (Not counting generic file transfer clients.) Any number of scripts which wrap generic file transfer clients exist - dput and dupload for two. The fundamental component of any Debian archive upload tool is going to be essentially a rewrite of 'dcmd', so what's the point? -- Neil Williams = http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpbppJuvQK7a.pgp Description: PGP signature

It wasn't meant to be hostile - the original query was unclear and seemed, to me, to be proposing adding yet another new upload tool / complaining about the existing tools in a rather nebulous manner, rather than trying to identify packages which need bugs filed along the lines of #647129 and #647130. It's always worth mentioning the reason behind the query.

It's always worth mentioning the reason behind the query. Agreed. Thanks to Adam Barratt for clarifying the original question on IRC.

Summary: Upload tools may need changes to check for security uploads going to the wrong upload location. Could be useful for backports and local upload configs too. -- Neil Williams = http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgphwSv6cBC8Q.pgp Description: PGP signature
