Re: cygport upload command?

Using cygport, I think that packaging has become quite easy now.

That's always been my goal. :-)

Except for one thing: the upload step.  Maintainers still have to go
through the procedure at
https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html.  Although it's
easier than the old manual upload process, it's still a little tedious and
error-prone.

Yaakov, would you consider adding an 'upload' command to cygport, that
would handle the uploading details?  That would take away the last bit of
manual work in a routine package update.

I'm a bit busy at the moment, but it sounds like a good idea to me.

If you don't have the time or interest to add an upload command yourself,
would you consider a patch?  I've spent some time looking through cygport
code, and I might have time to give it a try, or maybe someone else would.

PTC.
