Hello [email protected], I recently ran into an ftp upload issue with a GNU maintainer. They tried to upload a signed version of their package, but it wasn't a detached signature, so the script failed to upload the file.
While the maintainer should have gotten the email and figured it out (although the email was apparently not actually sent), it could be helpful if the instructions for uploading to ftp.gnu.org were clarified a bit. Here is the page in question: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/FTP-Upload-Directive-File.html What do you think about making a change to that page similar to the following?: from: --- foo-1.0.tar.gz foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive.asc to the host ftp-upload.gnu.org, directory /incoming/ftp (for official releases), or the directory /incoming/alpha (for test releases). --- to: --- foo-1.0.tar.gz foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive.asc to the host ftp-upload.gnu.org, directory /incoming/ftp (for official releases), or the directory /incoming/alpha (for test releases). foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig should contain a detached signature of the foo-1.0.tar.gz file. --- Let me know what you think. Thanks, : ) Andrew
