[dput-ng-maint] Bug#696558: dput-ng: sftp uploads aren't working

[Jeremy Bicha]

Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.2
Severity: normal

I use sftp to upload to Launchpad (for Ubuntu and PPAs) because ftp
timeouts for me even on relatively small uploads.
dput-ng doesn't seem to work right with sftp uploads. Here's my
~/.dput.cfwhich was sufficient with classic dput:

[ubuntu]
fqdn                    = upload.ubuntu.com
method                  = sftp
incoming                = ubuntu
login                   = jbicha

[ppa]
fqdn                    = ppa.launchpad.net
method                  = sftp
incoming                = ~%(ppa)s/ubuntu
login                   = jbicha

And here's the error:

$ dput ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
../build-area/gnome-icon-theme_3.7.0~git20121203.372f0e3a-0ubuntu1_source.changes

SFTP doesn't support ~path or ~/path. if you need $HOME paths, use SCP.
