Debian's tag2upload considered stable
Welcome to LWN.net [LWN.net] [Unofficial]

Sean Whitton has announced that Debian's tag2upload service is now out of beta and ready for use by Debian developers and maintainers.
> During the beta we encountered only a few significant bugs. Now that we've fixed those, our rate of successful uploads is hovering around 95%. Failures are almost always due to packaging inconsistencies that older workflows don't detect, and therefore only need fixing once per package.
>
> We don't think you need explicit approval from your co-maintainers anymore. Your upload workflows can be different to your teammates. They can be using dput, dgit or tag2upload.
LWN covered tag2upload in July 2024.
