Description:
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.
