NEED FOR A GR
So, why am I proposing a GR?
Because you aren't appearently interested in actual cooperation, but
want to force something down the throat of others, ignoring their
wishes.
The ftpmaster team have refused to trust uploads coming from the
tag2upload service. This GR is to override that decision.
This is wrong, there has *NOT* been such a decision.
In our design, the git tag contains simple metadata that can be
written
out by hand. ftpmaster stated a hard requirement that the signed tag
must additionally include a manifest of all files in the .dsc.
And that is wrong too.
We think that it should be possible to upload packages without any
complex Debian-specific tools, and we want to support as many of our
existing git workflows as we can.
Meeting these goals requires accepting source packages constructed and
uploaded by the tag2upload service.
FTPMaster actually has a very similar wish.
We are concerned that ftpmaster's position is due more to
conservatism,
leading to an unwillingness to extend trust beyond our existing
processes, no matter how carefully designed and implemented the new
processes may be.
Wrong, again.
Should this GR pass, the tag2upload project will be unstuck, and could
be deployed in a matter of months. Then the source-only uploads of as
many of us who want it can become just 'git debpush' and done, without
any other workflow changes or learning.
"In a matter of months", but you can't even wait to end the running
discussion first. Where is the hurry?
=====
BEGIN FORMAL RESOLUTION TEXT
tag2upload allows DDs and DMs to upload simply by using the
git-debpush(1) script to push a signed git tag.
1. tag2upload, in the form designed and implemented by Sean Whitton
and
Ian Jackson, and design reviewed by Jonathan McDowell and Russ
Allbery, should be deployed to official Debian infrastructure.
2. Under Constitution ยง4.1(3), we overrule the ftpmaster delegate's
decision: the Debian Archive should be configured to accept and
trust
uploads from the tag2upload service.
Which decision do you want to overrule? There has not been any.
FTPMaster is talking with you (or trying, but you don't appear to be
open to listen) and trying to get this in, but you are "My way or
nothing" set.
So no, point 2 is not true.
