[dput-ng-maint] Bug#717007: dput-ng: dput is rather verbose, particularly on errors

[Russ Allbery]

Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.5
Severity: minor

Hi folks,

dput-ng seems a little chattier than I would prefer, particularly when
a post_upload_comamnd fails.  Here's a transcript of a recent run.
Things of note there:

1. The running lines were kind of interesting the first time I used it
   after upgrading, but are getting kind of tiresome now.  I'm not sure
   it's really important for me to know that dput is doing that every
   time I run it.

2. When a post_upload_command fails, I expect to see the output from
   that command (that's all the reprepro output here).  It's also nice
   to have the command that ran and the exit status.  But I'm not sure
   I really care about Python barfing out its backtrace, and in this
   particular case, since it came before the actual error output, it
   obscured the actual problem.

Also, as a much more minor note, dput-ng seems quite fond of long (>80
column) lines, which makes some of its informational output a bit hard
to read.  This is probably a personal preference thing, but in case no
one else has given the feedback, I personally would rather the first line
be something more like:

Uploading stanford-server using scp to local
  Host: genesis.stanford.edu
  Directory: /srv/repos/local/incoming

or maybe:

Uploading stanford-server using scp to local
  (genesis.stanford.edu:/srv/repos/local/incoming)

Uploading stanford-server using scp to local (host: genesis.stanford.edu; directory: /srv/repos/local/incoming)

running check-debs: makes sure the upload contains a binary package
running gpg: check GnuPG signatures before the upload
