I can't complain. I have also accidentally uploaded to unstable instead of experimental for the same reason. IIRC I didn't understand how the sbuild options worked. I have now put a check in my build scripts to prevent this type of mistake happening. I strongly recommend to use dput-ng, it will stop this kind of mistake. I just checked this to make sure: % dput -s ftp-master python-mkdocs_0.16.1-1_i386.changes Not uploading for real - dry run Uploading python-mkdocs using ftp to ftp-master (host: ftp.upload.debian.org; directory: /pub/UploadQueue/) running allowed-distribution: check whether a local profile permits uploads to the target distribution running protected-distribution: warn before uploading to distributions where a special policy applies running checksum: verify checksums before uploading running suite-mismatch: check the target distribution for common errors Upload is targeting experimental but the changes will hit unstable Upload is targeting `experimental', but the changes will hit `unstable'. Looks like you forgot -d experimental when invoking sbuild. Although I used the -s option (I don't won't to risk making the same error!), I believe if I didn't, it wouldn't let me upload this package anyway. -- Brian May <b...@debian.org>
