Re: [Savannah-help-public] Upload fail

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

Steven, I forwarded you (with you in CC) to sysadmin@, they should be
able to help you resolve this.

As for making things easier in the future, there is a wrapper script
to make uploading (and what not easier) called gnupload, available in
gnulib.  You might want to check that out instead of hand hacking the
DIRECTIVE file.  The usage is trivial:

  ~/gnulib/build-aux/gnupload --to ftp.gnu.org:foo foo-1.23.tar.gz 
foo-1.23.tar.bz2

>From (maintain.info) Automated Upload Procedure:

  One automated way to create and transfer the necessary files is to
  use the gnupload script, which is available from the ‘build-aux/’
  directory of the gnulib project at
  http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib. gnupload can also remove
  uploaded files. Run gnupload --help for a description and examples.

  gnupload uses the ncftpput program to do the actual transfers; if
  you don’t happen to have the ncftp package installed, the
  ncftpput-ftp script in the ‘build-aux/’ directory of gnulib serves
  as a replacement which uses plain command line ftp.

  If you have difficulties with an upload, email
  address@hidden You can check the archive of uploads processed
  at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/ftp-upload-report.
