    The server has been upgraded and mentors.debian.net is back up again.

    Is it debexpo that makes it possible that users
    can `dput` to mentors?

    Webpage https://wiki.debian.org/Debexpo doesn't tell
    and I'm not sure if mentors.debian.net is a destination
    for `dput`.


    Best,

    Hi Geert,

    Webpage https://wiki.debian.org/Debexpo doesn't tell
    and I'm not sure if mentors.debian.net is a destination
    for `dput`.

    Debexpo is the software running on mentors.debian.net. It is written in
    Python using the Django framework. It has many moving parts, including:

    - The web interface
    - A source package repository
    - A read-only GPG keyserver
    - An importer, that process packages
    - Some QA plugins
    - An API

    Aside from that, we are running a FTP service on the server. (that we
    are looking to retire)

    Dput and dput-ng are tools that upload packages using supported
    protocols (FTP, HTTPS, SSH, ...). As long as you have a target defined
    in their configuration that support those protocol, you can upload
    packages there.

    Regarding mentors, both dput [1] and dput-ng [2] have a default FTP configuration for mentors.

    Moreover, on the Maintainer page [3] on mentors show the configuration
    required for the HTTPS and FTP, the former being used by almost
    everyone.

    In conclusion, yes, mentors.debian.net is a valid dput destination, and
    one can upload with:

    dput -f mentors package.changes

    And yes, debexpo receive the package, process it, run some QA tools and
    makes it available to its source-only package repository.
