[Savannah-hackers] news about filelist

[Mathieu Roy]

as written in the news 
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=654
" Working on setting a File Release System on savannah without changing 
the secured way files are uploaded on the download area, a Filelist is 
now available.

Basically, if you want to use this ( that looks like, for example, 
http://savannah.gnu.org/files/?group_id=1388 ), you just have to put 
your new files following a simple tree structure explained in the File 
Manager Admin and to specify if you want to use it in your project 
Public Info.

Here (in the File Manager Admin), you will get an explanation, 
description of the tree, and a simple form that could be used to get a 
bunch of command lines that will upload your files (following the 
required tree structure) once you paste it in a terminal.

The next step is to permit you to give informations about your lastest 
releases that will be showned on the savannah front page (as the Newest 
Package informations) and will highlight the concerned packages in your 
Filelist..."


As said, the next step is working on the release system. I think that 
some part of the original SF could be adapted to do this.
The actual system for the files dont deals with the original SF one 
since it's a system very simple that works only with files, not 
database (there's only one entry to see if projects use this feature - 
I've send recently the database alter for this).
I think we only should add a form in the files/admin page that will 
permit projects admins to specified the last version they have 
published : this will be showned in the SV front page and the designed 
version will be highlighted in the filelist.


The actual filelist can probably be enhanced, dont hesitate to do so.


Best regards,
