As you might know, we are using Savannah now to host files, CVS, bugs, and mailing lists. The only thing not there is the wiki (documentation).
There is one important thing you must do if you are uploading files to the server via SCP (once you put you GPG key and such).
Files uploaded are for you user only. Which means the uploads have the wrong permissions
meaning no one but the uploader can rename, edit, remove or anything :( This is very bad. Everyone should be able to use this server. So....
Always run
chmod 2777 file/folder/gpgsig
after you upload (2777 being everyone has access to read, write, and execute)
On a side note, I got WinSCP working (well, actually its SFTP, which works the same and
better). Anyway, its working on Windows and I'll be putting
instructions on the wiki. And I put all 0.8.15 stuff in a folder. http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/glob2/. So all those with windows computers handy can benefit from it. I'll be experimenting with a linux based one soon enough too ;)
The WinSCP tutorial I'll make which handled permissions automatically, so you dont have to run the command above everytime, so it might be worth using ;) Its also a lot easier (drag and drop)).
