Description:
Ian Jackson has published a blog
post summarizing the tag2upload service's
first month of handling uploads for the upcoming Debian14 ("forky") release: We announced tag2upload's open beta in mid-July. That was in the
middle of the the freeze for trixie, so usage was fairly light until
the forky floodgates opened. Since then the service has successfully
performed 637 uploads, of
which 420 were in the last 32 days. That's an average of about 13 per
day. For comparison, during the first half of September up to today
there have been 2475 uploads to unstable. That's about 176/day. So,
tag2upload is already handling around 7.5% of uploads. This is
very gratifying for a service which is advertised as still being in
beta! LWN covered tag2upload in July 2024.
