Control: retitle -1 clarify syntax of ‘cancel’ command for queue control Control: tags -1 + help On 12-Apr-2016, Neil Williams wrote: > >From the manpage: > > If you've uploaded packages with the --delayed option (uploaded to > DEFERRED queue), then use the cancel command with a .changes file. > > $ dcut cancel dput_0.9.4_i386.changes I notice that this example, and the description of the ‘cancel’ command at <URL:ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/README>, only ever show a base filename (with no directory). > $ dcut cancel ../pytest-django_2.9.1-2.1_amd64.changes Whereas this command has a directory in the path (‘../’). That might be a salient difference. Is this constraint – the argument to ‘cancel’ *must* be a base filename only – imposed by the upload queue processor? If so, the response: > .commands file has invalid Commands line: cancel ../pytest-django_2.9.1-2.1_amd64.changes > debsign: .commands file appears to be invalid. see: > ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/README > for valid format is not very helpful, because the referenced document does not make that constraint plain. I'm casting this to ‘debian-devel’ for confirmation whether this is actually the problem. Can someone with knowledge of the upload queue processing clarify this? -- \ “Whatever a man prays for, he prays for a miracle.
