  8.     `dput` has been developed because `dupload`, the only tool for
    9. 

  9.     doing uploads, has quite a few open bug reports and the code is in
    10. 

  10.     my opinion not very clean.
    11. 

  11.     
    12. 

  12.     So I decided to start again and create a new tool for uploading
    13. 

  13.     packages into debian. This tool is `dput`, which will include more
    14. 

  14.     features and be (hopefully) bug free. It is written in Python,
    15. 

  15.     since the author believes that Python is a very good language.

  18. Features
    19. 

  19. ========
    20. 

  20. 

  21. The features include:
    22. 

  22. 

  23. * Test of the GnuPG signature on the source control file (``*.dsc``).
    24. 

  24. 

  25. * Verification of the checksums in the source control file.
    26. 

  26. 

  27. * Support for MD5 and SHA checksums.
    28. 

  28. 

  29. * Check for unnecessary or missing tarballs.
    30. 

  30. 

  31. * Running Lintian before putting the package into the archive.
    32. 

  32. 

  33. * Running Dinstall after the package is in the archive and making sure that
    34. 

  34.   the package will be put on the correct server.
    35. 

  35. 

  36. * Running user-defined commands before and after an upload.
    37. 

  37. 

  38. A lot of the tests can be run without really putting the package
    39. 

  39. into the archive.

  42. Encryption
    43. 

  43. ==========
    44. 

  44. 

  45. If you are still using PGP instead of GnuPG, please consider switching
    46. 

  46. to GnuPG instead. You can find a “how to” document about “Replacing
    47. 

  47. PGP 2.x with GnuPG” at: `<http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/pgp2x.html>`_.
