Package: ftp.debian.org This is related to Bug #798413 and it's also quite "kafkian".
I did a source-only upload and it was REJECTED with a message like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Source-only uploads to NEW are not allowed. === Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our concerns. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When the upload is not source-only and it's not immediately accepted for the same reason (i.e. requiring NEW processing), the message is like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ binary:ekg2-api-docs is NEW. Your package has been put into the NEW queue, which requires manual action from the ftpteam to process. The upload was otherwise valid (it had a good OpenPGP signature and file hashes are valid), so please be patient. [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Omitting long explanations about how the NEW queue works is ok, but at the very minimum, the uploader should be told about *what* part of the upload is considered to be NEW. Thanks.
