Hi Soren,

that would be this revert:

https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild?action=diff&rev1=332&rev2=333

Which part of the information that you removed was incorrect?

Maybe you are confusing sbuild, the tool to build binary artifacts with a tool
to perform uploads of files to ftp.debian.org? I fear that what you expect is
for sbuild to gain knowledge about how packages are uploaded to Debian. It
already gained the --source-only-changes option as a convenience feature. If
you need to upload both the source and the binary artifacts, you can use the
mergechanges tool to create a .changes file which contains both. But I don't
think sbuild is the right tool to tell that what you want to do right now is an
upload to Debian of type XY and then produce exactly what is needed for that
upload. This is something you should be telling a tool which is intended for
uploads to Debian and then *that* tool can drive sbuild and merge the .changes
files in whatever way necessary. Such a tool already exists: dgit.

I would like for you to revert your revert or explain why you think that this
is incorrect information.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
