Hi folks,
Tried uploading package cpuid with and without LICENSE.
Neither seems to work (checked master setup.ini).
It seems like I broke calm when I updated it a couple of days ago. :(
Thanks for pointing this out.
I've repaired it, and your upload seems to have succeeded.
Thanks Jon,
Also I don't seem to be able to get on to any mailing list interface
to re-enable email to perhaps check status via email in public inbox.
I don't understand what this means.
Email retries are often visible under Sourceware Public Inbox e.g.
https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/202209252042.28pjfcqu021984-28pkg7ec017...@mx1.webnames.ca/T/#u
and I am now also monitoring the Cygwin lists via Atom Feeds in Chromium
Foxish RSS/Atom Feed reader extension.
Has the Cygwin mailing lists being disabled now blocking package uploads?
No.
Can someone please see if they can have a look and give me some hints
via DM.
Are there any other ways I can see any issues with package uploads?
If your ISP is blocking email from sourceware, I can only suggest
getting a free webmail from somewhere else, and arranging for upload
reports be sent there as well (see [1]).
Thanks for that reminder, I've added Direct ISP and Gmail - hopefully
one succeeds!
I'd did think that it would be nice to add a "recent uploads" report to
the web pages, but I'm unlikely to have any time to work on that.

Any chance of maybe just appending to an mbox cleared after 24 hours old?
P.S.
I keep having to comment out LICENSE after updates to the latest SPDX
keys, as it seems to block uploads!
What are you using to validate licences in calm - PyPi spdx-tools?
Finally, do you have any advice on what to do about various US Public
Domain sources like tz{code,data} about which SPDX.org is still having
discussions?
I have submitted input asking them to add a tz/tzdb/zoneinfo PD licence
instance, and/or also something for other generic US.gov PD sources,
like they currently have for NIST, CC, Open Data Commons, Sax, and
libselinux.
But they closed an issue from a US.gov entity asking for a generic
US.gov PD licence for their documents!
