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.
