  1. This directory is the Debian upload queue of ssh.upload.debian.org. All
  2. valid files uploaded here will be transferred to ftp.upload.debian.org.
  3. Only known Debian developers can upload here. Uploads have to be signed
  4. by PGP keys in the Debian keyring. Files not meeting this criterion or
  5. files not mentioned in a .changes file will be removed after some time.
  6. The queue daemon will notify you by mail of success or any problems
  7. with your upload.
  8. *.commands Files
  9. ----------------
  10. Besides *.changes files, you can also upload *.commands files for the
  11. daemon to process. With *.commands files, you can instruct the daemon
  12. to remove or rename files in the queue directory that, for example,
  13. resulted from failed or interrupted uploads. A *.commands file looks
  14. much like a *.changes, but contains only two fields: Uploader: and
  15. Commands:. It must be PGP-signed by a known Debian developer, to avoid
  16. that E.V.L. Hacker can remove/rename files in the queue. The basename
  17. (the part before the .commands extension) doesn't matter, but best
  18. make it somehow unique.
  19. The Uploader: field should contain the mail address to which the reply
  20. should go, just like Maintainer: in a *.changes. Commands: is a
  21. multi-line field like e.g. Description:, so each continuation line
  22. should start with a space. Each line in Commands: can contain a
  23. standard 'rm' command, but no options are allowed. Filenames may not
  24. contain slashes (so that they're restricted to the queue
  25. directory). 'rm' can process as much arguments as you give it (not only
  26. one), and also knows about the shell wildcards *, ?, and [].
  27. Example of a *.commands file:
  28. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
  29. Hash: SHA256
  30. Uploader: Some One <some@example.com>
  31. Commands:
  32. rm hello_1.0-1_i386.deb
  33. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
  34. Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux)
  35. [...]
  36. -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
