[Bug 632041] Re: Provide commented-out method of using SFTP to upload to Ubuntu + PPAs

[Scott Ritchie]

Still relevant with Trusty's shipped dput.

** Summary changed:

- Change "incoming = /" in dput.cf to "incoming = ubuntu" for sftp-compatability
+ Provide commented-out method of using SFTP to upload to Ubuntu + PPAs

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: dput
  
  This is the current default dput.cf:
  
  [ubuntu]
  fqdn			= upload.ubuntu.com
  method		= ftp
  incoming		= /
  login			= anonymous
  
  for sftp you need:
  
  [ubuntu]
  fqdn			= upload.ubuntu.com
  method		= sftp
  incoming		= ubuntu
  login			= (launchpad nick)
  
  The default dput.cf should make itself more amenable to the latter, as
- some of us require sftp uploads due to retarded ISPs.  I suggest just
+ some of us require sftp uploads due to awful ISPs.  I suggest just
  adding the entire sftp section right below the ftp one, however have it
  commented out.  A similar example could be made for PPAs.  That way we
  won't need to search around the internet for how to enable sftp anymore.
