Hi, >to be honest, i don't have a good reason besides testing the resulting deb and >that is
>my existing workflow I usually do two dpkg-buildpackage, one for my system, and the source one for ftpmasters the second one is usually really fast, because it just requires a source pack, no real building. (probably you should try to upload something like hedgewars, with a +200MB binary, to understand why you will like to avoid it :p) >on top of a debian source tree and it always works, so why change? because source only uploads are niceTM :) [1] >i'm not sure i follow you here, but here goes my reasoning anyway > >ftp-master will request a binary upload, so why don't do the same for mentors >since is >the very thing you're going to be doing later down the road. only for new or bin-new queue, lots of stuff on mentors is a subsequent update with no new binaries >i'd love if ftp-master accepted source only or even better >discard the uploaded binaries, but is not the way it is today sadly true >i'm very tempted to do uploads to debian using !amd64 binaries to be sure that >the binary used by (most of the) users hasn't been build by me but a buildd! true, I sometimes upload for i386 for this reason :) [1] https://wiki.debian.org/SourceOnlyUpload
