+	<h1>Uploads to the secure-testing repository</h1>
+
+	<p>
+	To upload a package to the secure-testing repository, follow this
+	checklist:
+	<ol>
+		<li>Only upload changes that have already been made in
+		unstable and are blocked by reaching testing by some other
+		issues. This is both to keep things in sync once the
+		new version from unstable reaches testing, and to avoid
+		breaking secure-testing too badly with fixes that have not
+		been tested first in unstable.</li>
+		<li>Only make uploads for issues that the testing security
+		team plans to issue a DTSA announcement for.</li>
+		<li>Use a version number that is less than the version
+		number of the fix in unstable, but greater than the version
+		number of the fix in testing. For example, if the fix is in
+		a new upstream version 1.0-1 in unstable, upload version
+		1.0-0.1etch1 to secure-testing. If the fix is in version
+		1.5-10 in unstable, use version 1.5-9etch1 in
+		secure-testing.</li>
+		<li>Use "testing" as the distribution in the
+		changelog.</li>
+		<li>Build the package in a testing chroot using pbuilder
+		so that all the dependencies are ok.</li>
+		<li>Test the package.</li>
+		<li>Upload to <tt>secure-testing-master.debian.net</tt>.
+		Here is a dput.cf snippet for that upload queue:
+		<pre>
+		[secure-testing]
+		fqdn = secure-testing-master.debian.net
+		method = ftp
+		incoming = /pub/UploadQueue/
+		login = anonymous
+		</pre>
+		</li>
+	</ol>
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+	Note that the above instructions are provisional until we get
+	everything set up.
