Yay! I'm happy to beta-test this. Exactly what features are required from dgit to be able to use tag2upload? Maybe I can offer myself to vet the process as a package maintainer that only minimally uses dgit, assuming that I can manage to install and get dgit to work on my machine. A simple 'dpkg -i' of 12.9 worked now, and I was able to run 'dgit build' in my existing libntlm git clone. I haven't been using dgit before this, but maybe this is sufficient to count me as a dgit user.
Packages (for example): libntlm, cppi, git2cl, guile-fibers /Simon Sean Whitton <spwhit...@spwhitton.name> writes: > Hello everyone, > > We are ready to start a closed beta for tag2upload. > > For the first stage, these are the kind of participants we want: > > - Individual maintainer or small team, where everyone is on board. > DDs and DMs are equally welcome. > > - (At least some of) the packages are uploaded relatively often. > > - Happy to perform an occasional upload that only touches d/changelog, > for testing. > > - Happy to risk breakage or lossage, including possible broken uploads. > We don't expect broken uploads, but one point of the beta is to > discover any problems of that kind. > > - You already use dgit to upload. > > This is not because using tag2upload requires using dgit. > There are two reasons for this limitation at this stage: > > There are some complications that will be avoided in git trees that > are already known to work fine with dgit. > > On a social/pedagogical level, users of dgit will already be familiar > with some of our terminology etc. > > - Happy to tolerate the history of your package on dgit-repos diverging > a bit from what's on salsa. > (Interleaving dgit pushes and tag2upload will add some merges.) > > - Willing to tolerate rough edges! > > Just to note, we will not ask you to use tag2upload for every upload of > the packages for which it is enabled.
