Debian Maintainers can only upload packages they have been explicitly
granted permission to upload.  Nobody has allowed Johannes to upload
dijitso (see the current permissions at [1]), so the upload gets
rejected.

To grant DMs upload permissions, any DD can either use `dcut` from
`dput-ng` or manually write a *.dak-commands file[2] and upload it.
dak will then update the ACL and send a confirmation message by mail.

The .dak-commands file should look something like this:

+---
| Archive: ftp.debian.org
| Uploader: Drew Parsons 
|
| Action: dm
| Fingerprint: ${40 hexdigits fingerprint of the DMs PGP key}
| Allow: dijitso

failure uploading new version of dijitso

[Drew Parsons]

Hi FTP masters, we have a question about updating dijitso to the new
version 2017.1.

Johannes Ring is the upstream author and a Debian Maintainer (but not
full DDeveloper).  We're lucky to have him so closely involved in the
Debian maintenance of dijitso and the other FEniCS packages.

Lately Johannes tried to upload dijitso 2017.1 to experimental but the
system blocked him, citing insufficient permissions. Certainly I could
do the upload but we wanted to understand what the block was.

The package names are the same, python-dijitso etc, so it's not a
question of passing the NEW queue.

Johannes has independently uploaded new versions of the other packages
before, e.g. fiat 2016.2, ffc 2016.1, etc. So the problem is not simply
about uploading a new version with a new orig tarball.

Can you help us understand what's blocking him from uploading dijitso
2017.1 (to experimental)?

OK, that makes sense. It would be nice to know if Christophe did it to
not duplicate efforts.

I agree on this.

Great.  I recommend upgrading debian/rules to the new dh mechanism
(maybe that's what Christophe Trophime has done in his 2.0 packaging).

It's not worth adapting blacs-mpi to dh since it's end-of-life, but it
might help make scalapack more streamlined.

The following should download all previous versions from 
snapshot.debian.org and tag everything for you:


gbp import-dscs --debsnap --pristine-tar scalapack

That is great!, to be honest, I don't understand why I didn't upload
these packages before to Debian Science!. I will upload ScaLAPACK this
weekend. Do you know if it is possible to automagically create tags

Since the migration of packages from unstable to testing is now stopped
anyway I decided to start uploading to unstable (shamelessly violating
freeze policy since from now on it becomes useless anyway).

Just a hint

Thanks Muammar.  The git repo for blacs-mpi looks fine.

I've committed patches to build powerpcse and to use multiarch.

Had to throw the old source changes into a debian/patch (we can't make
source changes outside the Debian directory, or else dpkg-buildpackage
refuses to run).

Seems to be working fine. Will upload once stretch is finalised (the
multiarch update is too invasive to upload before then).
