39 To upload a package to the secure-testing repository, any Debian
40 developer may follow this checklist:
41 <ol>
42 <li>Contact the team first to avoid duplicate work.</li>
43
44 <li>Only upload changes that have already been made in
45 unstable and are blocked by reaching testing by some other
46 issues. This is both to keep things in sync once the
47 new version from unstable reaches testing, and to avoid
48 breaking secure-testing too badly with fixes that have not
49 been tested first in unstable.</li>
50
51 <li>If the orig.tar.gz is already on security.debian.org
52 (either in stable-security or in testing-security)
53 don't include it in the upload. If in doubt, ask the team.</li>
54
55 <li>Use a version number that is less than the version
56 number of the fix in unstable, but greater than the version
57 number of the fix in testing (including a possible +b1 for binNMUs).
58 For example, if the fix is in a new upstream version 1.0-1 in unstable,
59 upload version 1.0-1~lenny1 to testing-security. If the current version
60 in testing is 1.2-3 and the fix is backported to this version, upload
61 version 1.2-3+lenny1 to testing-security.</li>
62
63 <li>Use "testing-security" as the distribution in the
64 changelog.</li>
65
66 <li>Build the package in a testing chroot using pbuilder
67 so that all the dependencies are ok. Be sure to build with
68 the -sa switch to include source, unless the source is
69 already in the testing-security archive.</li>
70
71 <li>Test the package. Diff the package against the version
72 in testing (if backporting fixes). Use debdiff on both
73 source and binary packages.</li>
74
75 <li>Sign the package. Any Debian developer in the keyring
76 can do so.</li>
77
78 <li>Upload to <tt>security-master.debian.org</tt>.
79 Here is a dput.cf snippet for that upload queue:
80 <pre>
81 [testing-security]
82 fqdn = security-master.debian.org
83 method = ftp
84 incoming = /pub/OpenSecurityUploadQueue/
85 login = anonymous
86 </pre>
87 Note that this is <em>not</em> the same queue as usually used for stable security.
88 </li>
89 </ol>

92 <p>Information about releasing the packages can be found in the
93 <a href="http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/doc/how-to-DTSA?op=file&rev=0&sc=0">howto-DTSA
94 file</a> in the SVN repository.
