I need to correct a problem and I'm not sure the best way to
handle it.
Unbeknownst to me upstream released a bad tar file. I uploaded it to the
look-aside repository via "make new-sources FILES=XXX". Upstream has
replaced the tar file with a new one and in the process removed a higher
version tar file I also uploaded (Arghh...)
I believe that the look-aside repository tracks stuff by md5sum not
by file name. Unless you were so unlucky as to have an exact match
on the md5sum, there are no worries. Just re-upload the corrected file.
Is there a mechanism to remove a file uploaded by mistake?
Not that I've heard of, but unless it's a frickin' enormous file there
is not really a reason to bother.
