This directory is the Debian upload queue of ftp.uni-erlangen.de. All files uploaded here will be moved into the project incoming dir on master.debian.org. Only known Debian developers can upload here. All uploads must be in the same format as they would go to master, i.e. with a PGP-signed .changes file that lists all files that belong to the upload. Files not meeting this condition will be removed automatically after some time. The queue daemon will notify you by mail of success or any problems with your upload. For this, the Maintainer: field in the .changes must contain your (the uploader's) correct e-mail address, not the address of the real maintainer (if different). The same convention applies to master itself, which sends installation acknowledgements to the address in Maintainer:. *.commands Files ---------------- Besides *.changes files, you can also upload *.commands files for the daemon to process. With *.commands files, you can instruct the daemon to remove or rename files in the queue directory that, for example, resulted from failed or interrupted uploads. A *.commands file looks much like a *.changes, but contains only two fields: Uploader: and Commands:. It must be PGP-signed by a known Debian developer, to avoid that E.V.L. Hacker can remove/rename files in the queue. The basename (the part before the .commands extension) doesn't matter, but best make it somehow unique. The Uploader: field should contain the mail address to which the reply should go, just like Maintainer: in a *.changes. Commands: is a multi-line field like e.g. Description:, so each continuation line should start with a space. Each line in Commands: can contain a standard 'rm' or 'mv' command, but no options are allowed, and filenames may not contain slashes (so that they're restricted to the queue directory). 'rm' can process as much arguments as you give it (not only one), and also knows about the shell wildcards *, ?, and []. Example of a *.commands file: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Uploader: Roman Hodek Commands: rm hello_1.0-1_i386.deb mv hello_1.0-1.dsx hello_1.0-1.dsc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia iQCVAwUBNFiQSXVhJ0HiWnvJAQG58AP+IDJVeSWmDvzMUphScg1EK0mvChgnuD7h BRiVQubXkB2DphLJW5UUSRnjw1iuFcYwH/lFpNpl7XP95LkLX3iFza9qItw4k2/q tvylZkmIA9jxCyv/YB6zZCbHmbvUnL473eLRoxlnYZd3JFaCZMJ86B0Ph4GFNPAf Z4jxNrgh7Bc= =pH94 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
