Thanks for doing this! I'm sorry I'll be on the road and will miss it. So here is some input from a real live newbie :-) This is what I ran into, mostly surprise at how the submission process works. Mechanics are odd: important details picked up by parsing changelog! Including your email address for getting confirmation [check this] Seems to require publication of your email address, no option for OpenId or the like. Upload process doesn't confirm clean upload Signature must be right [check what the consequences are] No notification when build succeeds Pitfalls: not finding right email, bad pgp signature, changelog syntax, MD5 sum of uploaded file does not match existing file in archive => must have different version for each repository! Can't delete packages yet I also submitted https://bugs.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/136593 about it. I've since gotten my email and builds to work, so I need to update that, but I do wonder if a cleaner submission process would be in order. Cheers, Neal McBurnett http://mcburnett.org/neal/
