<p>Once you have registered your information as described in the previous
-section, you will be able to do ftp uploads for yourself using the
-following procedure.
-</p>
-<p>For each upload destined for <code>ftp.gnu.org</code> or
-<code>alpha.gnu.org</code>, three files (a <em>triplet</em>) need to be
-uploaded via ftp to the host <code>ftp-upload.gnu.org</code>.
+section, you can and should do ftp uploads for your package. There
+are two basic kinds of uploads (details in the following sections):
</p>
<ol>
-<li> The file to be distributed; for example, <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp>.
-
-</li><li> Detached GPG binary signature file for (1); for example,
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.sig</samp>. Make this with ‘<samp>gpg -b
foo.tar.gz</samp>’.
+<li> Three related files (a “triplet”) to upload a file destined
for
+<code>ftp.gnu.org</code> or <code>alpha.gnu.org</code>: see <a
href="#FTP-Upload-Release-File-Triplet">FTP Upload Release File Triplet</a>.
-</li><li> A clearsigned <em>directive file</em>; for example,
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.directive.asc</samp>. Make this by preparing the plain
-text file <samp>foo.tar.gz.directive</samp> and then run ‘<samp>gpg
---clearsign foo.tar.gz.directive</samp>’. See <a
href="#FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1">FTP Upload Directive File -
v1.1</a>, for the contents of the directive file.
+</li><li> A single (signed) standalone “directive file” to perform
operations
+on the server: see <a href="#FTP-Upload-Standalone-Directives">FTP Upload
Standalone Directives</a>.
</li></ol>
-<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>.sig</samp> extension. The directive file must have the same name as
-the file to be distributed, with an additional <samp>.directive.asc</samp>
-extension. If you do not follow this naming convention, the upload
-<em>will not be processed</em>.
-</p>
-<p>Since v1.1 of the upload directives, it is also possible to upload a
-clearsigned directive file on its own (no accompanying <samp>.sig</samp> or
-any other file) to perform certain operations on the server.
-See <a href="#FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1">FTP Upload Directive
File - v1.1</a>, for more information.
-</p>
-<p>Upload the file(s) via anonymous ftp to <code>ftp-upload.gnu.org</code>. If
-the upload is destined for <code>ftp.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in
-the <samp>/incoming/ftp</samp> directory. If the upload is destined for
-<code>alpha.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in the
<samp>/incoming/alpha</samp>
-directory.
+<p>In either case, you upload the file(s) via anonymous ftp to the host
+<code>ftp-upload.gnu.org</code>. If the upload is destined for
+<code>ftp.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in the directory
+<samp>/incoming/ftp</samp>. If the upload is destined for
+<code>alpha.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in the directory
+<samp>/incoming/alpha</samp>.
</p>
<p>Uploads are processed every five minutes. Uploads that are in
progress while the upload processing script is running are handled
-properly, so do not worry about the timing of your upload. Uploaded
-files that belong to an incomplete triplet are deleted automatically
-after 24 hours.
-</p>
-<p>Your designated upload email addresses (see <a
href="#Automated-Upload-Registration">Automated Upload Registration</a>)
-are sent a message if there are any problems processing an upload for your
-package. You also receive a message when your upload has been successfully
-processed.

Directive File - v1.1</a>, for more information.
+<p>Ordinarily, the goal is to upload a new release of your package, let’s
+say, the source archive <samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz</samp>. To do this, you
+simultaneously upload three files:
</p>
-<a name="New-directive-replace"></a>
-<h4 class="subheading">New directive <code>replace</code></h4>
+<ol>
+<li> The file to be distributed; in our example, <samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz</samp>.

-<a name="index-uploads_002c-replacing"></a>

+--clearsign foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive</samp>’. Its contents are
described in
+the next section.
+</li></ol>
+
+<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>.sig</samp> extension. The directive file must have the same name as

+
+<a name="index-directive-file_002c-for-FTP-uploads"></a>
+
+<p>To repeat, a (signed) <em>directive file</em> must be part of every
+upload. The unsigned original is just a plain text file you can
+create with any text editor. Its name must be, e.g.,
+<samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive</samp> for accompanying an upload of
+<samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz</samp>.
+</p>
+<p>After creating the file, run ‘<samp>gpg --clearsign
+foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive</samp>’, which will create
+<samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive.asc</samp>; this is the file to be uploaded.
+</p>
+<p>When part of a triplet for uploading a release file, the directive
+file must always contain the directives <code>version</code>,
+<code>filename</code> and <code>directory</code>. In addition, a
<code>comment</code>
+directive is optional. These directives can be given in any order.
+</p>
+<p>Continuing our example of uploading <samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz</samp> for a
+package named <code>foo</code> to <code>ftp.gnu.org</code>, the values would
be as
+follows:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>version</code></dt>
+<dd><p>must be the value ‘<samp>1.2</samp>’ (the current version,
as of May 2012):<br>
+<tt>version: 1.2</tt>
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>filename</code></dt>
+<dd><p>must be the name of the file to be distributed:<br>
+<tt>filename: foo-1.0.tar.gz</tt>
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>directory</code></dt>
+<dd><p>specifies the final destination directory where the uploaded file and
+its <samp>.sig</samp> companion are to be placed. Here we will put our file
+in the top level directory of the package, as is the most common
+practice:<br>
+<tt>directory: foo</tt>
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>comment</code></dt>
+<dd><p>is optional, and ignored if present:<br>
+<tt>comment: let's hope this works!</tt>
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>Putting the above together, the complete contents of the directive
+file <samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive</samp> for our example would be:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">version: 1.2
-directory: bar/v1
-filename: foo.tar.gz
-comment: hello world!
+directory: foo
+filename: foo-1.0.tar.gz
+comment: let's hope this works!
</pre></div>
-<p>If <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp> exists prior to upload, this directive file will
-result in an error. Prior to May 2012, the behavior (of v1.1) was
-different: any existing files were automatically archived and replaced
-with the new upload. Since May 2012, no files are replaced unless the
-(new) <code>replace</code> directive is set to <code>true</code> in the
directive
-file. That directive requires version 1.2 of the protocol. For
-example:
+<p>Then you ‘<samp>gpg --clearsign</samp>’ the file as given
above, and upload
+(using anonymous ftp) the three files:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz</samp></dt>
+<dt><samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig</samp></dt>
+<dt><samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive</samp></dt>
+</dl>
+
+<p>to the host <samp>ftp-upload.gnu.org</samp>, directory
+<samp>/incoming/ftp</samp> (for official releases), or the directory
+<samp>/incoming/alpha</samp> (for test releases).
+</p>
+<p>After the system authenticates the signatures, the files
+<samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz</samp> and <samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig</samp> are placed in
+the directory <samp>gnu/foo/</samp> on <code>ftp.gnu.org</code>. That is,
we’ll
+have made our release available at
+‘<code>http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/foo/foo-1.0.tar.gz</code>’ (and then
from
+our many mirrors via
+‘<code>http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/foo/foo-1.0.tar.gz</code>’). Whew.
+</p>
+<p>A common reason for the upload not succeeding is your GPG signature
+not being registered with the upload system. There is nothing that
+makes this happen automatically. You must email the system
+administrators as described above (see <a
href="#Automated-Upload-Registration">Automated Upload Registration</a>).

-comment: hello world!

+package <code>foo</code>, thus ending up at
+‘<code>ftp.gnu.org:gnu/foo/foo-1.0/foo-1.0.tar.gz</code>’.
+</p>
+<p>However, to keep things simpler for users, we recommend not using
+subdirectories, unless perhaps each release of your package consists
+of many separate files.

-<p>The directive file name must end in <samp>directive.asc</samp>.
+<p>You can replace existing files that have already been uploaded by
+including a directive line <code>replace: true</code>. For example,
+you might like to provide a README file in the release directory and
+update it from time to time. The full directive file for that would
+look like this:
</p>
-<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 <code>comment</code> directive is allowed.
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">replace: true
+version: 1.2
+directory: foo
+filename: README
+comment: replaces an existing README
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>It is ok if the file to be replaced doesn’t already exist; then the
+new file is simply added, i.e., the <samp>replace</samp> directive has no
+effect.
</p>
-<p>The <code>version</code> directive must always have the value
‘<samp>1.1</samp>’.
+<p>When an existing file is replaced, the original is archived to a
+private location. There is no automated or public access to such
+archived files; if you want to retrieve or view them, please email
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";>address@hidden</a>.
</p>
-<p>The <code>directory</code> directive specifies the final destination
-directory where the uploaded file and its <samp>.sig</samp> companion are to
-be placed.
+<p>We very strongly discourage replacing an actual software release file,
+such as <samp>foo-1.0.tar.gz</samp>. Releases should be unique, and
+forever. If you need to make fixes, make another release. If you
+have an exigent reason for a particular release file to no longer be
+available, it can be explicitly archived, as described in the next
+section.
</p>
-<p>The <code>filename</code> directive must contain the name of the file to be
-distributed (item (1) above).
+<p>If you want to make the current release available under a generic
+name, such as <code>foo-latest.tar.gz</code>, that is better done with
+symlinks, also as described in the next section.
</p>
-<p>For example, as part of an uploaded triplet, a

+
+<p>The previous sections describe how to upload a file to be publicly
+released. It’s also possible to upload a directive file by itself to
+perform a few operations on the upload directory. The supported
+directives are:
</p>
-<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1
-directory: bar/v1
-filename: foo.tar.gz
-comment: hello world!
-</pre></div>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>symlink</code></dt>
+<dd><p>creates a symlink.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>rmsymlink</code></dt>
+<dd><p>removes a symlink.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>archive</code></dt>
+<dd><p>takes a file or directory offline.
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
-<p>This directory line indicates that <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp> and
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.sig</samp> are part of package <code>bar</code>. If you
uploaded
-this triplet to <samp>/incoming/ftp</samp> and the system positively
-authenticates the signatures, the files <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp> and
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.sig</samp> will be placed in the directory
-<samp>gnu/bar/v1</samp> of the <code>ftp.gnu.org</code> site.
+<p>As for the directives described above, the <code>directory</code> and
+<code>version</code> directives are still required, the <code>comment</code>
+directive remains optional, and the <code>filename</code> directive is not
+allowed.
</p>
-<p>The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
-directory trees, as long as they are under the directory for your
-package (in the example above, the package directory is <code>bar</code>).
+<p>When uploaded by itself, the name of the directive file is not
+important. But it must be still be signed, using ‘<samp>gpg
+--clearsign</samp>’; the resulting <samp>.asc</samp> file is what should
be
+uploaded.
</p>
-<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.
-There is no automated or online access to archived files; if you want
-to retrieve or view them, please email sysadmin.
-</p>
-<a name="Standalone-directives"></a>
-<h4 class="subheading">Standalone directives</h4>
-
-<p>When uploaded by itself, a 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 remains optional.
-</p>
-<p>If you use more than one directive, the directives are executed in the
-sequence they are specified in. If a directive results in an error,
-further execution of the upload is aborted.
+<p>Here’s an example of the full directive file to create a
+<samp>foo-latest.tar.gz</samp> symlink:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">version: 1.2
+directory: foo
+symlink: foo-1.1.tar.gz foo-latest.tar.gz
+comment: create a symlink
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>If you include more than one directive in a standalone upload, the
+directives are executed in the sequence they are specified in. If a
+directive results in an error, further execution of the upload is
+aborted.
</p>
<p>Removing a symbolic link (with <code>rmsymlink</code>) which does not exist
-results in an error. However, attempting to create a symbolic link
-that already exists (with <code>symlink</code>) is not an error. In this
-case <code>symlink</code> behaves like the command <code>ln -s -f</code>: any
-existing symlink is removed before creating the link. (But an
-existing regular file or directory is not removed.)
+results in an error. On the other hand, attempting to create a
+symbolic link that already exists (with <code>symlink</code>) is not an
+error. In this case <code>symlink</code> behaves like the command
+<code>ln -s -f</code>: any existing symlink is removed before creating
+the link. (But an existing regular file or directory is not replaced.)
</p>
-<p>Here are a few examples. The first removes a symlink:
+<p>Here’s an example of removing a symlink, e.g., if you decide not to
+maintain a <samp>foo-latest</samp> link any more:
</p>
<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1
-directory: bar/v1
-rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
+<pre class="example">version: 1.2
+directory: foo
+rmsymlink: foo-latest.tar.gz
comment: remove a symlink
</pre></div>
-<p>Archive an old file, taking it offline:
+<p>And here’s an example of archiving a file, e.g., an unintended upload:
</p>
<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1

-archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
+<pre class="example">version: 1.2

+archive: foo-1.1x.tar.gz
comment: archive an old file; it will not be

-11.5.3 FTP Upload Directive File - v1.2
----------------------------------------
+11.5.3 FTP Upload Release File Triplet
+--------------------------------------
-All the directives and documentation for v1.1 of the protocol still
-apply. *Note FTP Upload Directive File - v1.1::, for more information.
+Ordinarily, the goal is to upload a new release of your package, let's
+say, the source archive 'foo-1.0.tar.gz'. To do this, you
+simultaneously upload three files:
-New directive 'replace'
------------------------
+ 1. The file to be distributed; in our example, 'foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
-As part of an uploaded triplet, a 'foo.tar.gz.directive.asc' file might
-contain these lines (before being GPG-clearsigned):
+ 2. Detached GPG binary signature file for (1); for example,
+ 'foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig'. Make this with 'gpg -b foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
- version: 1.2
- directory: bar/v1
- filename: foo.tar.gz
- comment: hello world!
+ 3. A clearsigned "directive file"; for example,
+ 'foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive.asc', created with 'gpg --clearsign
+ foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive'. Its contents are described in the next
+ section.
+
+ The names of the files are important. The signature file must have
+the same name as the file to be distributed, with an additional '.sig'
+extension. The directive file must have the same name as the file to be
+distributed, with an additional '.directive.asc' extension. If you do
+not follow this naming convention, the upload _will not be processed_.
+
+11.5.4 FTP Upload Directive File
+--------------------------------
- If 'foo.tar.gz' exists prior to upload, this directive file will
-result in an error. Prior to May 2012, the behavior (of v1.1) was
-different: any existing files were automatically archived and replaced
-with the new upload. Since May 2012, no files are replaced unless the
-(new) 'replace' directive is set to 'true' in the directive file. That
-directive requires version 1.2 of the protocol. For example:
+To repeat, a (signed) "directive file" must be part of every upload.
+The unsigned original is just a plain text file you can create with any
+text editor. Its name must be, e.g., 'foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive' for
+accompanying an upload of 'foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
+
+ After creating the file, run 'gpg --clearsign
+foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive', which will create
+'foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive.asc'; this is the file to be uploaded.
+
+ When part of a triplet for uploading a release file, the directive
+file must always contain the directives 'version', 'filename' and
+'directory'. In addition, a 'comment' directive is optional. These
+directives can be given in any order.
+ Continuing our example of uploading 'foo-1.0.tar.gz' for a package
+named 'foo' to 'ftp.gnu.org', the values would be as follows:
+
+'version'
+ must be the value '1.2' (the current version, as of May 2012):
version: 1.2
- directory: bar/v1
- filename: foo.tar.gz
- replace: true
- comment: hello world!
-11.5.4 FTP Upload Directive File - v1.1
----------------------------------------
+'filename'
+ must be the name of the file to be distributed:
+ filename: foo-1.0.tar.gz
+
+'directory'
+ specifies the final destination directory where the uploaded file
+ and its '.sig' companion are to be placed. Here we will put our
+ file in the top level directory of the package, as is the most
+ common practice:
+ directory: foo
+
+'comment'
+ is optional, and ignored if present:
+ comment: let's hope this works!
+
+ Putting the above together, the complete contents of the directive
+file 'foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive' for our example would be:
-The directive file name must end in 'directive.asc'.
+ version: 1.2
+ directory: foo
+ filename: foo-1.0.tar.gz
+ comment: let's hope this works!
+
+ Then you 'gpg --clearsign' the file as given above, and upload (using
+anonymous ftp) the three files:
+
+'foo-1.0.tar.gz'
+'foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig'
+'foo-1.0.tar.gz.directive'
+
+to the host 'ftp-upload.gnu.org', directory '/incoming/ftp' (for
+official releases), or the directory '/incoming/alpha' (for test
+releases).
+
+ After the system authenticates the signatures, the files
+'foo-1.0.tar.gz' and 'foo-1.0.tar.gz.sig' are placed in the directory
+'gnu/foo/' on 'ftp.gnu.org'. That is, we'll have made our release
+available at 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/foo/foo-1.0.tar.gz' (and then from
+our many mirrors via 'http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/foo/foo-1.0.tar.gz').
+Whew.
+
+ A common reason for the upload not succeeding is your GPG signature
+not being registered with the upload system. There is nothing that
+makes this happen automatically. You must email the system
+administrators as described above (*note Automated Upload
+Registration::).
- 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.
+11.5.5 FTP Upload Directory Trees
+---------------------------------
- The 'version' directive must always have the value '1.1'.
+You can make any directory hierarchy you like under your package
+directory. The system automatically creates any intermediate
+directories you specify in the 'directory' directive.
- The 'directory' directive specifies the final destination directory
-where the uploaded file and its '.sig' companion are to be placed.
+ Slightly modifying the example above, the following directive file:
- The 'filename' directive must contain the name of the file to be
-distributed (item (1) above).
+ version: 1.2
+ directory: foo/foo-1.0
+ filename: foo-1.0.tar.gz
+ comment: creates per-version subdirectory as needed
+
+would put the tar file in the 'foo-1.0/' subdirectory of the package
+'foo', thus ending up at 'ftp.gnu.org:gnu/foo/foo-1.0/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
+
+ However, to keep things simpler for users, we recommend not using
+subdirectories, unless perhaps each release of your package consists of
+many separate files.
+
+11.5.6 FTP Upload File Replacement
+----------------------------------
+
+You can replace existing files that have already been uploaded by
+including a directive line 'replace: true'. For example, you might like
+to provide a README file in the release directory and update it from
+time to time. The full directive file for that would look like this:
- For example, as part of an uploaded triplet, a
-'foo.tar.gz.directive.asc' file might contain these lines (before being
-gpg clearsigned):
+ replace: true
+ version: 1.2
+ directory: foo
+ filename: README
+ comment: replaces an existing README
+
+ It is ok if the file to be replaced doesn't already exist; then the
+new file is simply added, i.e., the 'replace' directive has no effect.
+
+ When an existing file is replaced, the original is archived to a
+private location. There is no automated or public access to such
+archived files; if you want to retrieve or view them, please email
+<address@hidden>.
+
+ We very strongly discourage replacing an actual software release
+file, such as 'foo-1.0.tar.gz'. Releases should be unique, and forever.
+If you need to make fixes, make another release. If you have an exigent
+reason for a particular release file to no longer be available, it can
+be explicitly archived, as described in the next section.
+
+ If you want to make the current release available under a generic
+name, such as 'foo-latest.tar.gz', that is better done with symlinks,
+also as described in the next section.
- version: 1.1
- directory: bar/v1
- filename: foo.tar.gz
- comment: hello world!
+11.5.7 FTP Upload Standalone Directives
+---------------------------------------
- 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 previous sections describe how to upload a file to be publicly
+released. It's also possible to upload a directive file by itself to
+perform a few operations on the upload directory. The supported
+directives are:
+
+'symlink'
+ creates a symlink.
+
+'rmsymlink'
+ removes a symlink.
+
+'archive'
+ takes a file or directory offline.
+
+ As for the directives described above, the 'directory' and 'version'
+directives are still required, the 'comment' directive remains optional,
+and the 'filename' directive is not allowed.
+
+ When uploaded by itself, the name of the directive file is not
+important. But it must be still be signed, using 'gpg --clearsign'; the
+resulting '.asc' file is what should be uploaded.
- The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
-directory trees, as long as they are under the directory for your
-package (in the example above, the package directory is 'bar').
+ Here's an example of the full directive file to create a
+'foo-latest.tar.gz' symlink:
- If you upload a file that already exists in the FTP directory, the
-original will simply be archived and replaced with the new upload.
-There is no automated or online access to archived files; if you want to
-retrieve or view them, please email sysadmin.
-
-Standalone directives
----------------------
-
-When uploaded by itself, a 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 remains optional.
-
- If you use more than one directive, the directives are executed in
-the sequence they are specified in. If a directive results in an error,
-further execution of the upload is aborted.
+ version: 1.2
+ directory: foo
+ symlink: foo-1.1.tar.gz foo-latest.tar.gz
+ comment: create a symlink
+
+ If you include more than one directive in a standalone upload, the
+directives are executed in the sequence they are specified in. If a
+directive results in an error, further execution of the upload is
+aborted.
Removing a symbolic link (with 'rmsymlink') which does not exist
-results in an error. However, attempting to create a symbolic link that
-already exists (with 'symlink') is not an error. In this case 'symlink'
-behaves like the command 'ln -s -f': any existing symlink is removed
-before creating the link. (But an existing regular file or directory is
-not removed.)
+results in an error. On the other hand, attempting to create a symbolic
+link that already exists (with 'symlink') is not an error. In this case
+'symlink' behaves like the command 'ln -s -f': any existing symlink is
+removed before creating the link. (But an existing regular file or
+directory is not replaced.)
- Here are a few examples. The first removes a symlink:
+ Here's an example of removing a symlink, e.g., if you decide not to
+maintain a 'foo-latest' link any more:
- version: 1.1
- directory: bar/v1
- rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
+ version: 1.2
+ directory: foo
+ rmsymlink: foo-latest.tar.gz
comment: remove a symlink
-Archive an old file, taking it offline:
+And here's an example of archiving a file, e.g., an unintended upload:
- version: 1.1
- directory: bar/v1
- archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
+ version: 1.2
+ directory: foo
+ archive: foo-1.1x.tar.gz
comment: archive an old file; it will not be
- comment: available through FTP any more.
-
-Archive an old directory (with all contents), taking it offline:
+ comment: publicly available any more.
- version: 1.1
- directory: bar/v1
- archive: foo
- comment: archive an old directory; it and its entire
- comment: contents will not be available through FTP anymore
+ The 'archive' directive causes the specified items to become
+inaccessible. This should only be used when it is actively bad for them
+to be available, e.g., you uploaded something by mistake.
+
+ If all you want to do is reduce how much stuff is in your release
+directory, an alternative is to email <address@hidden> and ask them to
+move old items to the 'http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/' directory; then they
+will still be available. In general, however, we recommend leaving all
+official releases in the main release directory.
-Create a new symlink:
-
- version: 1.1
- directory: bar/v1
- symlink: foo-1.2.tar.gz foo-latest.tgz
- comment: create a new symlink
+11.5.8 FTP Upload Directive File - v1.1
+---------------------------------------
-Do everything at once:
+The v1.1 protocol for uploads lacked the 'replace' directive; instead,
+file replacements were done automatically and silently (clearly
+undesirable). This is the only difference between v1.2 and v1.1.
- 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

+Support for v1.0 uploads was discontinued in May 2012; please upgrade

<p>Once you have registered your information as described in the previous
-section, you will be able to do ftp uploads for yourself using the
-following procedure.
-</p>
-<p>For each upload destined for <code>ftp.gnu.org</code> or
-<code>alpha.gnu.org</code>, three files (a <em>triplet</em>) need to be
-uploaded via ftp to the host <code>ftp-upload.gnu.org</code>.
+section, you can and should do ftp uploads for your package. There
+are two basic kinds of uploads (details in the following sections):
</p>
<ol>
-<li> The file to be distributed; for example, <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp>.
-
-</li><li> Detached GPG binary signature file for (1); for example,
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.sig</samp>. Make this with ‘<samp>gpg -b
foo.tar.gz</samp>’.
+<li> Three related files (a “triplet”) to upload a file destined
for
+<code>ftp.gnu.org</code> or <code>alpha.gnu.org</code>: see <a
href="FTP-Upload-Release-File-Triplet.html#FTP-Upload-Release-File-Triplet">FTP
Upload Release File Triplet</a>.
-</li><li> A clearsigned <em>directive file</em>; for example,
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.directive.asc</samp>. Make this by preparing the plain
-text file <samp>foo.tar.gz.directive</samp> and then run ‘<samp>gpg
---clearsign foo.tar.gz.directive</samp>’. See <a
href="FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1.html#FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1">FTP
Upload Directive File - v1.1</a>, for the contents of the directive file.
+</li><li> A single (signed) standalone “directive file” to perform
operations
+on the server: see <a
href="FTP-Upload-Standalone-Directives.html#FTP-Upload-Standalone-Directives">FTP
Upload Standalone Directives</a>.
</li></ol>
-<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>.sig</samp> extension. The directive file must have the same name as
-the file to be distributed, with an additional <samp>.directive.asc</samp>
-extension. If you do not follow this naming convention, the upload
-<em>will not be processed</em>.
-</p>
-<p>Since v1.1 of the upload directives, it is also possible to upload a
-clearsigned directive file on its own (no accompanying <samp>.sig</samp> or
-any other file) to perform certain operations on the server.
-See <a
href="FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1.html#FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1">FTP
Upload Directive File - v1.1</a>, for more information.
-</p>
-<p>Upload the file(s) via anonymous ftp to <code>ftp-upload.gnu.org</code>. If
-the upload is destined for <code>ftp.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in
-the <samp>/incoming/ftp</samp> directory. If the upload is destined for
-<code>alpha.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in the
<samp>/incoming/alpha</samp>
-directory.
+<p>In either case, you upload the file(s) via anonymous ftp to the host
+<code>ftp-upload.gnu.org</code>. If the upload is destined for
+<code>ftp.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in the directory
+<samp>/incoming/ftp</samp>. If the upload is destined for
+<code>alpha.gnu.org</code>, place the file(s) in the directory
+<samp>/incoming/alpha</samp>.
</p>
<p>Uploads are processed every five minutes. Uploads that are in
progress while the upload processing script is running are handled
-properly, so do not worry about the timing of your upload. Uploaded
-files that belong to an incomplete triplet are deleted automatically
-after 24 hours.
-</p>
-<p>Your designated upload email addresses (see <a
href="Automated-Upload-Registration.html#Automated-Upload-Registration">Automated
Upload Registration</a>)
-are sent a message if there are any problems processing an upload for your
-package. You also receive a message when your upload has been successfully
-processed.

-<h4 class="subsection">11.5.4 FTP Upload Directive File - v1.1</h4>
+<h4 class="subsection">11.5.8 FTP Upload Directive File - v1.1</h4>
-<p>The directive file name must end in <samp>directive.asc</samp>.
+<p>The v1.1 protocol for uploads lacked the <code>replace</code> directive;
+instead, file replacements were done automatically and silently
+(clearly undesirable). This is the only difference between v1.2 and
+v1.1.
</p>
-<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 <code>comment</code> directive is allowed.
-</p>
-<p>The <code>version</code> directive must always have the value
‘<samp>1.1</samp>’.
-</p>
-<p>The <code>directory</code> directive specifies the final destination
-directory where the uploaded file and its <samp>.sig</samp> companion are to
-be placed.
-</p>
-<p>The <code>filename</code> directive must contain the name of the file to be
-distributed (item (1) above).
-</p>
-<p>For example, as part of an uploaded triplet, a
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.directive.asc</samp> file might contain these lines (before
-being gpg clearsigned):
-</p>
-<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1
-directory: bar/v1
-filename: foo.tar.gz
-comment: hello world!
-</pre></div>
-
-<p>This directory line indicates that <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp> and
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.sig</samp> are part of package <code>bar</code>. If you
uploaded
-this triplet to <samp>/incoming/ftp</samp> and the system positively
-authenticates the signatures, the files <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp> and
-<samp>foo.tar.gz.sig</samp> will be placed in the directory
-<samp>gnu/bar/v1</samp> of the <code>ftp.gnu.org</code> site.
-</p>
-<p>The directive file can be used to create currently non-existent
-directory trees, as long as they are under the directory for your
-package (in the example above, the package directory is <code>bar</code>).
-</p>
-<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.
-There is no automated or online access to archived files; if you want
-to retrieve or view them, please email sysadmin.
-</p>
-<a name="Standalone-directives"></a>
-<h4 class="subheading">Standalone directives</h4>
-
-<p>When uploaded by itself, a 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 remains optional.
-</p>
-<p>If you use more than one directive, the directives are executed in the
-sequence they are specified in. If a directive results in an error,
-further execution of the upload is aborted.
-</p>
-<p>Removing a symbolic link (with <code>rmsymlink</code>) which does not exist
-results in an error. However, attempting to create a symbolic link
-that already exists (with <code>symlink</code>) is not an error. In this
-case <code>symlink</code> behaves like the command <code>ln -s -f</code>: any
-existing symlink is removed before creating the link. (But an
-existing regular file or directory is not removed.)
-</p>
-<p>Here are a few examples. The first removes a symlink:
-</p>
-<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1
-directory: bar/v1
-rmsymlink: foo-latest.tgz
-comment: remove a symlink
-</pre></div>
-<p>Archive an old file, taking it offline:
-</p>
-<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1
-directory: bar/v1
-archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
-comment: archive an old file; it will not be
-comment: available through FTP any more.
-</pre></div>
-
-<p>Archive an old directory (with all contents), taking it offline:
-</p>
-<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1
-directory: bar/v1
-archive: foo
-comment: archive an old directory; it and its entire
-comment: contents will not be available through FTP anymore
-</pre></div>
-
-<p>Create a new symlink:
-</p>
-<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.1
-directory: bar/v1
-symlink: foo-1.2.tar.gz foo-latest.tgz
-comment: create a new symlink
-</pre></div>
-
-<p>Do everything at once:
-</p>
-<div class="example">
-<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></div>

-<p>As part of an uploaded triplet, a <samp>foo.tar.gz.directive.asc</samp> file
-might contain these lines (before being GPG-clearsigned):
-</p>
-<div class="example">
-<pre class="example">version: 1.2
-directory: bar/v1
-filename: foo.tar.gz
-comment: hello world!
-</pre></div>
-
-<p>If <samp>foo.tar.gz</samp> exists prior to upload, this directive file will
-result in an error. Prior to May 2012, the behavior (of v1.1) was
-different: any existing files were automatically archived and replaced
-with the new upload. Since May 2012, no files are replaced unless the
-(new) <code>replace</code> directive is set to <code>true</code> in the
directive
-file. That directive requires version 1.2 of the protocol. For
-example:

-<div class="example">
