Debian's tag2upload Reaches Open Beta For Enhancing Packaging Workflow

Written by Michael Larabel in Debian on 19 June 2025 at 06:41 AM EDT. 11 Comments
Debian tag2upload reached an open beta state for allowing Debian developers and maintainers to upload by simply using the git-debpush script for pushing a signed Git tag.

Debian tag2upload has been in development for a while as a new way to carry out source-only uploads using a signed Git tag. The focus with tag2upload is on making it easier to take care of Debian packaging work using simply a signed Git tag for those wanting to pursue this workflow. The git-debpush command is a wrapper around git-tag and git-push for pushing a tagged Git commit to a Debian-style archive.

Debian tag2upload is now considered to be in "open beta" for Debian developers for those wanting to cautiously use it -- and ideally pushing to Debian Experimental first. There are some features not supported yet like pushing to new or security-master.
