Hi,

it would be nice if each line in .upload files would have a prefix with
the date/time that upload was completed, for example:
  [2011/08/14 10:23:11] Successfully uploaded foo.deb to ... for ....
this way you can easily spot how much time it took for each operation to
complete (roughly), and have a record of the date/time you did the upload.
A configuration for it coul allow to not have to pass a parameter for it
at each upload.

Thanks,

This is a reasonable feature request, yes.

Currently, the upload log file is created after *all* the package files
have successfully uploaded. And this fact is required, to have that upload
log file as a signal: If the file exists at all, the upload is complete
(all files uploaded).

So, we would need to re-write the logic to preserve that behaviour, while
also recording the upload completion timestamp of each file, for later
writing to the file when all the uploads are complete.
