I'd like to submit a ballot option. Not really happy with the current text though. The idea is simple : I have been convinced, reading the previous discussion, that no formal opinion from ftpmaster has been provided.
I'm not sure that it was asked explicitly, and I think that before having a GR to force a tool down their throats, we should simply require a formal statement from ftpmaster as delegates on the matter. I also saw valid points that are too easily ignored by Sean and Ian regarding their implementation, probably due to them not being eager to change something that works. I really think this GR is counter-productive in its current state. To be clear, I'd vote for the default option above any ballot option trying to force ftpaster (and then DSA) to push a tool that has not received a formal review from ftpmaster, except if ftpaster decides to ignore the assessment request thrown th them (in which case at some point I'd view this as a decision - silent, but still). That being said, I do feel that ftpmaster failed multiple times to reply to requests from other DDs regarding rejects et al. I'd like to see this change. LBNL, I would expect tag2upload to work only if both a tag and the commit it points to are signed. I also view the requirement to have a proper DSC embedded some way is a sane one (as I consider it a sane idea to build something before uploading it). I'm happy to get counter-proposals regarding this option. ===== BALLOT OPTION BEGIN tag2upload allows DDs and DMs to upload simply by using the git-debpush script to push a signed git tag. 1. tag2upload should be deployed to official Debian infrastructure. 2. ftpmaster is expected to provide a formal opinion regarding the current implementation of tag2upload and the proposal from Sean Whitton and Ian Jackson to add it as a trusted source for the Debian Archive. Should ftpmaster consider that tag2upload can't be added as a trusted source for the Debian Archive as it is, ftpmaster is expected to provide a reasonable way forward. 3. Should ftpmaster fail to provide a proper and formal reply by September the 30th 2024, then under Constitution §4.1(3), the ftpmaster delegate decision would be overruled and become: the Debian Archive should be configured to accept and trust uploads from the tag2upload service.
