Subject: automated uploading to chiark.

Hello you out there,

for you in Europe, using chiark as relay to master.debian.org ... since
the procedure of uploading to Incoming and moving to ../queue is
somewhat error prone, I've written a little perl script (using
ftp.pl and lchat.pl from the mirror package) to do this
for me.

If somebody is interested in, please mail me.

Features:

        * using *.changes file to determine the files to be
          uploaded 
        * checking the md5 sums before starting further processing
        * logging of uploads (preventing duplicated uploads)
        * moving around on the ftp server, if necessary
        * sending mail to debian-changes after
          completed upload of every package

Bugs:
        * not too smart about several directories (for now you'll 
          have to put the files (*.changes, *.diff.gz, *.deb,  ...)
          into the directory where you'll fire up `upload'
        * not too (to none) smart about locating the *ftp.pl and
          *chat.pl modules.  (Will be fixed soon.)

    Heiko

debian-changes? Shouldn't this be debian-devel?

No, see policy manual 6.4.
