Delayed uploads

-Delayed uploads are done for the moment via the delayed queue at gluck

-With a fairly recent dput, this section
+It is sometimes useful to upload a package immediately, but to want this
+package to arrive in the archive only a few days later. For example,
+when preparing a Non-maintainer Upload,
+you might want to give the maintainer a few days to react.

-in ~/.dput.cf should work fine for uploading to the
-DELAYED queue.
+An upload to the delayed directory keeps the package in
+
+the deferred uploads queue".
+When the specified waiting time is over, the package is moved into
+the regular incoming directory for processing.
+This is done through automatic uploading to
+&ftp-master-host; in upload-directory
+DELAYED/[012345678]-day. 0-day is uploaded
+multiple times per day to &ftp-master-host;.
-Note: Since this upload queue goes to
-&ftp-master-host;, the prescription found in applies here as well.
+With dput, you can use the --delayed DELAY
+parameter to put the package into one of the queues.
