Hi,
It was rather unfair that some Free Software projects hosted on
savannah.gnu.org did not have a download area. Originally Savannah was
only used for GNU projects and those were granted a space on
ftp.gnu.org. From now on, each project hosted on Savannah which is not
(yet ;-) part of the GNU project is granted a download area at:
http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/projectname/
Each member of the project can upload files using ssh, or even
better, rsync over ssh. Here is the sample command I use for the uri
project:
cd my-laptop-tarbal-collection-directory
rsync --delete -av --rsh=ssh . freesoftware.fsf.org:/upload/uri
and then the files are immediately visibles at
http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/uri/
The 'Project admin' page of each non-GNU project now contains
an explanation on how this works. To summarize shortly, here is what
you get:
For project A
Publicly visible download area at :
http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/A/
Uploads to this area available to each project member at :
freesoftware.fsf.org:/upload/A/ using scp or rsync over ssh
Please send mail to address@hidden if you're in trouble.
You should first check that you are able to read/write the CVS repository,
as instructed in the CVS page for your Savannah project. Since CVS access
also uses ssh, once you get it working the upload will also work.
Cheers,
