Migration guide from old-style dput
===================================
Welcome! This is a helpful starting guide for anyone looking to switch from
dput to dput-ng. dput-ng features a few interesting changes, so it's worthwhile
to run through this helpful starting guide.
Key points
----------
* dput's configuration files *are* supported, and *will* override any
new-style configuration file.
* Behavior of pre-upload checks *may* be different.
* dput-ng maintains backwards compatibility with the old dput's command line
flags.
* dcut has a totally revamped interface, but is similar in spirit and
usability of dput's dcut interface.
* This package *replaces* old style dput.
Big changes from dput
---------------------
* Configuration can be defined in JSON. :doc:`configs` may be of
some help.
* More and better behaved checks are enabled by default, and more are
ready for use out of the box, if you so wish.
* post-upload hook and pre-upload checks (or hooks) may be written
in Python, and have access to the objects which matter. For more on
writing one, :doc:`hooks` may provide some insight.
Stability Notes
---------------
This *is not* finished. There are bits to be done, but this shows a decent
amount of progress being made on the tool, and is mostly ready for limited
use by technical people.
* Bug reports are extremely welcome.
* Ideas are extremely welcome.
* Contributors are extremely welcome -- of all kinds (technical or
otherwise) (see :doc:`contributing`)
