At the moment this hook cannot be used for much. It would be good if
the called command would get the path to the .changes file. Passing
other data (e.g. upload host) as parameters is even better.

Finally, interpreting the exit status would be good, i.e. a status of
1 could mean to stop the upload. This way custom pre-upload checks are
possible.

Much of this also applies to the post_upload_command.

TIA,

Hi.

Thanks for the patch.
I can only speak for myself, not Christian, but I'd have a slightly
different solution in mind (where there is some substitution mechanism
in the command string). IMO this is better in terms of backward
compatibility / not breaking existing configurations and extensibility.

Kind regards

Thomas

Hi,

Since I'm not very familiar anymore with the code of dput, I'm relying
on Thomas judgement in this case. So I'm going to wait for the patch
from Thomas.

I think this change is appropriate, because the application code has
changed so much in the meantime.

This bug report can remain open, I think it's a valid request. We will look
at how some kind of custom local “hooks” can make it easier to invoke
custom commands in the workflow.

At that point, this report can be folded into the new proposal; until then,
it records IMO a valid request.
