    We are pleased to announce that tag2upload is now in open beta.
    We think it is suitable for use in the following situations:

    * You have your co-maintainers' blessing to try tag2upload.
    (Or, the maintainers' blessing, in the case of an NMU.)

    * You'll be monitoring the output to check that everything seems in
    order, and be prepared to do some rework.

    * Be very aware of the freeze! Do not just upload to unstable as
    your first test! Uploads to unstable, targeting trixie, *can* be
    done with tag2upload - but in most cases you will probably want to
    upload the same package to experimental first.

    * You should carefully read the primary documentation:
    - https://wiki.debian.org/tag2upload
    - git-debpush(1)

    * You should use the latest git-debpush 13.x from experimental.


    Feedback is very welcome.

    Thank to our closed beta programmme participants for all the testing
    and feedback - especially, thanks to Simon Josefsson and Anton Gladky.


    Compared to the previous closed beta:

    * We are explicitly inviting participation from folks whose existing
    upload flow is not dgit-based. Indeed, these are the users who
    we expect to get the most benefit from tag2upload.

    * There is no longer any need to contact us to have your package(s)
    passlisted. You should still have your co-maintainers' approval!


    Ian & Sean.
