why don't we just let people decide themselves? We already grant every DD very liberal upload permissions to the archives because we trust them and their capabilities. Hence, I do not think we would like something like this despite of dak's support for it. Pretending we had a working concept to throw away binaries and how to deal with arch:all packages, why don't we introduce a control/changes file flag similar in spirit to "XS-Autobuild: yes" instructing dak not to throw away binaries upon explicit request - say "XS-keep-binary: yes". -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
