This provides compatibility with the /etc/dput.cf that we ship with the dput package.Aha, this explains why my last upload takes so long to appear on mentors' website. What was the reason behind such a long interval? Documentation on the website claims that the newly uploaded packages should be available for downloads within 30 *seconds*.
Thanks for pointing that out, Stanislav. We hadn't updated that documentation since writing the FTP backend.
I have fixed that.
I do suggest using the HTTP-based upload instead (which the website explains).I guess, the HTTP-based method does not have this absurd 30 minutes long delay... Trying to login and sort things out...BTW, do I understand right that its impossible to login with https anymore?
I didn't know it was possible before on m.d.n, or else I would have made that a requirement before we deployed. Sorry about breaking that.
I filed https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313294&group_id=100127&atid=413115 and we'll get to it.
