That doesn't solve the same problem as near as I can tell. That's a replacement for the upload process, but once dak has imported the signed tag and has a copy of the repository, now what? How is that data represented? How is it distributed to Debian systems that want to download the source package? I think you end up reinventing 3.0 (git) as a format for redistributing the thing that dak has pulled as a signed tag. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
