[08:06] <TJ-> is there a recommended dput workaround for uploading to Ubuntu PPAs from Debian, and hitting the "Unknown upload method: sftp" ? Looks like Debian hasn't added sftp support for 13 years!
[08:29] <Unit193> Worse yet, it doesn't have host argument support.  I use a forked version of dput that has a few extras.
[09:21] <mwhudson> is dput-ng better for this?
[09:31] <TJ-> mwhudson: not sure - I eventually figured it can be solved by scp-ing /usr/share/dput/dput/methods/sftp.py
[09:38] <TJ-> When I try to debug calls form apt to dpkg I only see the command-line but apt doesn't execute dpkg! "sudo apt -o=DPkg::Options=--force-all -o=Debug::pkgDPkgPM=true  -f install"  ... doing this because --force-all doesn't seem to be being passed to dpkg (man apt.conf says DPkg:: has an 'options' but other resources say it is 'Options')
[10:08] <xnox> to be fair i would love for the ftps support! https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dput/-/merge_requests/4/diffs
[10:08] <xnox> no idea why dput is not being maintained / merged =(
[10:13] <TJ-> xnox: does seem weird given the original Debian bug report was filed in 2008 :)
[12:35] <rbasak> Shouldn't https://people.canonical.com/~doko/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20210805-impish-impish.html be updating? It was last generated two days ago.
[14:46] <doko> rbasak, update is running, the last one didn't finish
[14:47] <rbasak> Thanks
[17:15] <GunnarHj> Hi bdmurray, do you have time to look at the FFe request at bug #1940925?
[17:19] <bdmurray> GunnarHj: some desktop team sign off on this would be nice
[17:21] <GunnarHj> bdmurray: Problem is that l_aney is on vacation. I'm an ubuntu-desktop member, but indeed not a release team ditto.
[17:21] <GunnarHj> bdmurray: I'm ready to answer any questions you may have, though.
[17:24] <GunnarHj> bdmurray: I suppose that my comment on the bug can be seen as my sign off.
[17:24] <bdmurray> GunnarHj: I'm happy to approve it as an ubuntu-release team member but just want to know the rest of the desktop team is a +1 on this.
[17:28] <GunnarHj> bdmurray: Hmm.. It has been discussed back and forth, but mostly between me and Daniel. Maybe ask some desktop members to provide their +1 tomorrow.
[17:36] <GunnarHj> bdmurray: I added a comment to the bug with such a request. Let's await the desktop team members' explicit approval.
[17:36] <bdmurray> Okay, thanks I'll have a look at it tomorrow!
[17:37] <GunnarHj> thank you
