[dput-ng-maint] Bug#697768: dput-ng: please explain how to setup the twitter hook

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.3
Severity: wishlist

Hello,
the Twitter integration of dput-ng is really awesome (and it would avoid me to
"announce" the upload manually) but it lacks information about setting up the
integration, in particular how to obtain the oAuth keys to login onto Twitter.

AFAIK (but I could be totally wrong) in order to allow an API to access Twitter,
you need to register an application on Twitter, than allow that application to
access your profile an so you have the 4 keys needed to access the API remotely
and post updates. This is kind of a long process (also the lack of an "official"
dput-ng application on Twitter makes the process even more painful) and so a
proper guidance would be awesome.

Cheers,
Sandro
