Uploading to Debian is a complicated and balky business involving tarballs, patches, and arcane runes.

tag2upload allows DDs and DMs to upload by simply pushing a signed git tag, to salsa. A robot then automatically, reliably, and traceably, builds the source package and uploads it to the Debian archive.

tag2upload is currently in a phased launch. With luck there will be demo - but uploading with git-debpush is very quick and easy, so don’t blink, or you’ll miss it!

I’ll also discuss some speculative future possibilities.
