I'm not the best person to give feedback on dput since I switched over to dput-ng completely and have never looked back. But I suppose that's a data point from one user who greatly appreciates the changes in dput-ng and would be happy to have that be the default dput. I am kind of meh on the JSON configuration format for dput-ng, though. I have never managed to work out how to use dcut (from either dput or dput-ng) in fewer than five tries each time I've needed to use it. I'm not sure what it is with that command, but I find it completely baffling to use correctly. Usually I manage to find some way to name the wrong thing in the command, refer to it incorrectly, or pick the wrong way to do whatever I'm trying to do. And I use it so rarely that I never remember what mistakes I made the next time I try. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
