[dput-ng-maint] Bug#749503: dput-ng: Please support host autodetection based on 'distributions' list

[Christian Hofstaedtler]

Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.7
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

the old dput.cf(5) man page defines the `distributions` field as:

              This defines a comma-separated list of distributions  that  this
              host  accepts,  used to guess the host to use when none is given
              on the command line.

I've tried to replicate this in dput-ng, but failed at it. No matter if
I set distributions to a comma-seperated string or to a real JSON array,
the list apparently gets ignored and dput-ng always chooses ftp-master
for my upload.

Thanks,
Christian
