Hello everyone,

We are ready to start a closed beta for tag2upload.

For the first stage, these are the kind of participants we want:

=2D Individual maintainer or small team, where everyone is on board.
  DDs and DMs are equally welcome.

=2D (At least some of) the packages are uploaded relatively often.

=2D Happy to perform an occasional upload that only touches d/changelog,
  for testing.

=2D Happy to risk breakage or lossage, including possible broken uploads.
  We don't expect broken uploads, but one point of the beta is to
  discover any problems of that kind.

=2D You already use dgit to upload.

  This is not because using tag2upload requires using dgit.
  There are two reasons for this limitation at this stage:

  There are some complications that will be avoided in git trees that
  are already known to work fine with dgit.

  On a social/pedagogical level, users of dgit will already be familiar
  with some of our terminology etc.

=2D Happy to tolerate the history of your package on dgit-repos diverging
  a bit from what's on salsa.
  (Interleaving dgit pushes and tag2upload will add some merges.)

=2D Willing to tolerate rough edges!

Just to note, we will not ask you to use tag2upload for every upload of
the packages for which it is enabled.  Uploads done in the usual way can
freely be done too.

If you'd like to sign up, write to us at <[email protected]>,
specifying a list of your packages for which we should enable tag2upload
processing, and confirming you have your co-maintainers agreement.

Or just reply to dgit-owner@ or on debian-devel if you have some
questions first.

For more information, see <https://wiki.debian.org/tag2upload>.

For the tag2upload Delegates,
=2D-=20
Sean Whitton
