[dput-ng-maint] Bug#719975: I cannot upload tags to ftp-master with dput-ng

[Enrico Zini]

Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.5
Severity: normal

Hello,

Once I reviewed tags and prepared things for uploading to ftp-master, I
have something that looks like this:

$ ls tag*
tag-overrides_201308171141_all.changes
tag-overrides_201308171141_all.tar.gz
$ cat tag-overrides_201308171141_all.changes

dput refuses to upload it:

$ dput tag-overrides_201308171141_all.changes
Uploading tag-overrides using ftp to ftp-master (host: ftp.upload.debian.org; directory: /pub/UploadQueue/)
running allowed-distribution: check whether a local profile permits uploads to the target distribution
running protected-distribution: warn before uploading to distributions where a special policy applies
running checksum: verify checksums before uploading
running suite-mismatch: check the target distribution for common errors
running check-debs: makes sure the upload contains a binary package
There are no .debs in this upload, and we're enforcing them.


Can I have a way to make it work for BYHAND uploads? I looked at the
manpage but found no descriptions. --unchecked only stops checking for
the gpg signature, which is about the only thing I'd still want checked.


Ciao,

Enrico
