• Debian's tag2upload considered stable

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Feb 10 06:40:09 2026

    Sean Whitton has announced
    that Debian's tag2upload
    service is now out of beta and ready for use by Debian developers and maintainers.

    During the beta we encountered only a few significant bugs. Now that
    we've fixed those, our rate of successful uploads is hovering around
    95%. Failures are almost always due to packaging inconsistencies that
    older workflows don't detect, and therefore only need fixing once per
    package.

    We don't think you need explicit approval from your co-maintainers
    anymore. Your upload workflows can be different to your teammates.
    They can be using dput, dgit or tag2upload.

    LWN covered
    tag2upload in July 2024.
