+
+<p>The directive file name must end in <samp><span
class="file">directive.asc</span></samp>.
+
+ <p>When part of a triplet, the directive file must always contain the
+directives <code>version</code>, <code>directory</code> and
<code>filename</code>, as
+described. In addition, a 'comment' directive is allowed.
+
+ <p>The <code>version</code> directive must always have the value
‘<samp><span class="samp">1.1</span></samp>’.
+
+ <p>The <code>directory</code> directive specifies the final destination
+directory where the uploaded file and its <samp><span
class="file">.sig</span></samp> companion are to
+be placed.
+
+ <p>The <code>filename</code> directive must contain the name of the file to
be
+distributed (item (1) above).
+
+ <p>For example, as part of an uploaded triplet, a
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz.directive.asc</span></samp> file might
contain these lines (before
+being gpg clearsigned):
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ filename: foo.tar.gz
+ comment: hello world!
+</pre>
+ <p>This directory line indicates that <samp><span
class="file">foo.tar.gz</span></samp> and
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz.sig</span></samp> are part of package
<code>bar</code>. If you uploaded
+this triplet to <samp><span class="file">/incoming/ftp</span></samp> and the
system positively
+authenticates the signatures, the files <samp><span
class="file">foo.tar.gz</span></samp> and
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz.sig</span></samp> will be placed in the
directory
+<samp><span class="file">gnu/bar/v1</span></samp> of the
<code>ftp.gnu.org</code> site.
+
+ <p>The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
+directory trees, as long as they are under the package directory for
+your package (in the example above, that is <code>bar</code>).
+
+ <p>If you upload a file that already exists in the FTP directory, the
+original will simply be archived and replaced with the new upload.
+
+<h4 class="subheading">Standalone directives</h4>
+
+<p>When uploaded by itself, the directive file must contain one or more
+of the directives <code>symlink</code>, <code>rmsymlink</code> or
<code>archive</code>,
+in addition to the obligatory <code>directory</code> and <code>version</code>
+directives. A <code>filename</code> directive is not allowed, and a
+<code>comment</code> directive is optional.
+
+ <p>If you use more than one directive, the directives are executed in the
+sequence they are specified in.
+
+ <p>Here are a few examples. The first removes a symlink:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
+ comment: remove a symlink
+</pre>
+ <p class="noindent">Archive an old file, taking it offline:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
+ comment: archive an old file - it will not be available through FTP
anymore
+</pre>
+ <p class="noindent">Create a new symlink:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ symlink: foo-1.2.tar.gz foo-latest.tgz
+ comment: create a new symlink
+</pre>
+ <p class="noindent">Do everything at once:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1

+<address@hidden>.
+
+9.5.3 FTP Upload Directive File - v1.1
+--------------------------------------
+
+The directive file name must end in `directive.asc'.
+
+ When part of a triplet, the directive file must always contain the
+directives `version', `directory' and `filename', as described. In
+addition, a 'comment' directive is allowed.
+
+ The `version' directive must always have the value `1.1'.
+
+ The `directory' directive specifies the final destination directory
+where the uploaded file and its `.sig' companion are to be placed.
+
+ The `filename' directive must contain the name of the file to be
+distributed (item (1) above).
+
+ For example, as part of an uploaded triplet, a
+`foo.tar.gz.directive.asc' file might contain these lines (before being
+gpg clearsigned):
+
+ version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ filename: foo.tar.gz
+ comment: hello world!
+
+ This directory line indicates that `foo.tar.gz' and `foo.tar.gz.sig'
+are part of package `bar'. If you uploaded this triplet to
+`/incoming/ftp' and the system positively authenticates the signatures,
+the files `foo.tar.gz' and `foo.tar.gz.sig' will be placed in the
+directory `gnu/bar/v1' of the `ftp.gnu.org' site.
+
+ The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
+directory trees, as long as they are under the package directory for
+your package (in the example above, that is `bar').
+
+ If you upload a file that already exists in the FTP directory, the
+original will simply be archived and replaced with the new upload.
+
+Standalone directives
+---------------------
+
+When uploaded by itself, the directive file must contain one or more of
+the directives `symlink', `rmsymlink' or `archive', in addition to the
+obligatory `directory' and `version' directives. A `filename'
+directive is not allowed, and a `comment' directive is optional.
+
+ If you use more than one directive, the directives are executed in
+the sequence they are specified in.
+
+ Here are a few examples. The first removes a symlink:
+
+ version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
+ comment: remove a symlink
+
+Archive an old file, taking it offline:
+
+ version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
+ comment: archive an old file - it will not be available through FTP
anymore
+
+Create a new symlink:
+
+ version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ symlink: foo-1.2.tar.gz foo-latest.tgz
+ comment: create a new symlink
+
+Do everything at once:
+
+ version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
+ symlink: foo-1.2.tar.gz foo-latest.tgz

- <p>The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
-directory trees, as long as they are under the package directory for
-your package (in the example above, that is <code>bar</code>).
-
- <p>Your designated upload email addresses (see <a
href="Automated-Upload-Registration.html#Automated-Upload-Registration">Automated

processing
-an upload for your package. You also receive a message when your

+ <p>The names of the files are important. The signature file must have the
+same name as the file to be distributed, with an additional
+<samp><span class="file">.sig</span></samp> extension. The directive file must
have the same name as
+the file to be distributed, with an additional <samp><span
class="file">.directive.asc
+extension</span></samp>. If you do not follow this naming convention, the
upload
+<em>will not be processed</em>.
+
+ <p>Since v1.1 of the upload script, it is also possible to upload a
+<dfn>directive file</dfn> on its own to perform certain operations on
+uploaded files. See <a
href="FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1.html#FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1">FTP

+
+<p><dfn>As of June 2006, the upload script is running in compatibility
+mode, allowing uploads with either version 1.1 or
+version 1.0 of the directive file syntax. Support for v1.0
+uploads will be phased out by the end of 2006, so please upgrade
+to v1.1.</dfn>
+
+ <p>The directive file should contain one line, excluding the clearsigned
+data GPG that inserts, which specifies the final destination directory
+where items (1) and (2) are to be placed.
+
+ <p>For example, the <samp><span
class="file">foo.tar.gz.directive.asc</span></samp> file might contain the
+single line:
+
+<pre class="example"> directory: bar/v1
+</pre>
+ <p>This directory line indicates that <samp><span
class="file">foo.tar.gz</span></samp> and
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz.sig</span></samp> are part of package
<code>bar</code>. If you were to
+upload the triplet to <samp><span class="file">/incoming/ftp</span></samp>,
and the system can
+positively authenticate the signatures, then the files
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz</span></samp> and <samp><span
class="file">foo.tar.gz.sig</span></samp> will be placed in the
+directory <samp><span class="file">gnu/bar/v1</span></samp> of the
<code>ftp.gnu.org</code> site.
+
+ <p>The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
+directory trees, as long as they are under the package directory for
+your package (in the example above, that is <code>bar</code>).

+<h4 class="subsection">9.5.3 FTP Upload Directive File - v1.1</h4>
+
+<p>The directive file name must end in <samp><span
class="file">directive.asc</span></samp>.
+
+ <p>When part of a triplet, the directive file must always contain the
+directives <code>version</code>, <code>directory</code> and
<code>filename</code>, as
+described. In addition, a 'comment' directive is allowed.
+
+ <p>The <code>version</code> directive must always have the value
‘<samp><span class="samp">1.1</span></samp>’.
+
+ <p>The <code>directory</code> directive specifies the final destination
+directory where the uploaded file and its <samp><span
class="file">.sig</span></samp> companion are to
+be placed.
+
+ <p>The <code>filename</code> directive must contain the name of the file to
be
+distributed (item (1) above).
+
+ <p>For example, as part of an uploaded triplet, a
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz.directive.asc</span></samp> file might
contain these lines (before
+being gpg clearsigned):
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ filename: foo.tar.gz
+ comment: hello world!
+</pre>
+ <p>This directory line indicates that <samp><span
class="file">foo.tar.gz</span></samp> and
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz.sig</span></samp> are part of package
<code>bar</code>. If you uploaded
+this triplet to <samp><span class="file">/incoming/ftp</span></samp> and the
system positively
+authenticates the signatures, the files <samp><span
class="file">foo.tar.gz</span></samp> and
+<samp><span class="file">foo.tar.gz.sig</span></samp> will be placed in the
directory
+<samp><span class="file">gnu/bar/v1</span></samp> of the
<code>ftp.gnu.org</code> site.
+
+ <p>The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
+directory trees, as long as they are under the package directory for
+your package (in the example above, that is <code>bar</code>).
+
+ <p>If you upload a file that already exists in the FTP directory, the
+original will simply be archived and replaced with the new upload.
+
+<h4 class="subheading">Standalone directives</h4>
+
+<p>When uploaded by itself, the directive file must contain one or more
+of the directives <code>symlink</code>, <code>rmsymlink</code> or
<code>archive</code>,
+in addition to the obligatory <code>directory</code> and <code>version</code>
+directives. A <code>filename</code> directive is not allowed, and a
+<code>comment</code> directive is optional.
+
+ <p>If you use more than one directive, the directives are executed in the
+sequence they are specified in.
+
+ <p>Here are a few examples. The first removes a symlink:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
+ comment: remove a symlink
+</pre>
+ <p class="noindent">Archive an old file, taking it offline:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
+ comment: archive an old file - it will not be available through FTP
anymore
+</pre>
+ <p class="noindent">Create a new symlink:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ symlink: foo-1.2.tar.gz foo-latest.tgz
+ comment: create a new symlink
+</pre>
+ <p class="noindent">Do everything at once:
+
+<pre class="example"> version: 1.1
+ directory: bar/v1
+ rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
+ symlink: foo-1.2.tar.gz foo-latest.tgz
+ archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
+ comment: now do everything at once
+</pre>
