This is just a small list of points to keep in mind... 1. Be careful with upload queues. If you use an upload queue, the packages are moved to ftp-master using someone else's userid. This means you cannot overwrite them or remove them from ftp-master's incoming either, as the queue daemon refuses to overwrite files (I haven't tested if it will overwrite the .orig.tar.gz, though). You may find yourself stuck with using upload queues for that package until you finally manage to get the files installed (and therefore removed from the incoming directory). 2. Pools do NOT allow you to fix a broken .orig.tar.gz upload. Once a .orig.tar.gz is installed, it stays... and the only means of fixing a broken one is to bump up the upstream version. This also means you can do a full source upload only *once* for a given upstream version of a package. If you try a second full-source upload, it will fail. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
