Summary:  struggling with getting files uploaded to the cfengine project

Original Submission:  Hello,

I am trying to upload a new release of cfengine to the cfengine project. I have 
generated a public gpg key with --keygen, I have exported it in ascii, I have
pasted it into the gpg area on my config. I have uploaded the tar file and the 
detatched signature file to the ftp area under incoming/savannah/cfengine

And I have waited the requisite 2 hours, and tried again and waited. And ....

I still have no file in the download area.

I am sure there is some little step that I am missing. A space in the wrong 
place,
a missing flag...

Can you give me a detailed recipe for uploading a file to the cfengine
download area?

OK, I should have checked Jim's news before copying your text ;)

The ftp hostname is `savannah.gnu.org'.  Files need to be uploaded into 
`/incoming/cfengine'.

See <https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2838> for more.

I tried to do this, but I got an error:

address@hidden:gridvern 3342> ftp ftp.savannah.gnu.org
ftp: ftp.savannah.gnu.org: Name or service not known

So that must not be fully correct. 

Do you want me to be in any specific directory?

I drew the same conclusion but then my connection died and my post didn't get.. 
posted.

John, could you please try the following steps:

$ echo 'test' >test.txt
$ gpg -b test.txt
[..enter your passphrase..]
$ ftp ftp.savannah.gnu.org
[..login as anonymous..]
ftp> ascii
ftp> put /path/to/test.txt
ftp> binary
ftp> put /path/to/test.txt.sig

Make sure that you upload your /correct/ public key in 
<http://savannah.gnu.org/my/>, too.  In the above case that would be your 
default key.

I did:
address@hidden me]$ gpg --import
[copied-pasted your savannah key]
address@hidden me]$ LANG=C gpg --verify foo.test.sig
gpg: Signature made Sun Apr  4 00:43:43 2004 CEST using DSA key ID 670BFAE6
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

The key I imported is "John Sechrest (TEmp Cfengine upload key) 
<address@hidden>". You must have used another key to sign the file.

I am not receiving updates from this tracker, and I do not know why. Hence the 
delay :/

Hello,

I meant that you upload the files on this very support request, using the 
'attach' function. The files you uploaded in the incoming dir were removed 'as 
usual'.

Ok. I have uploaded foo.test and foo.test.sig

I said:

gpg -b foo.test
This created
foo.test.sig

I then said:

ftp savannah.gnu.org

login anonymous

cd incoming/savannah/cfengine

put foo.test
put foo.test.sig

Please upload a test file (just one text file containing 'foo' or something) 
along with its signature to this support request. I will try to upload myself 
to check if there is any problem. I already checked and your GPG key is valid 
and set up to the uploading system.

Just in case: if you are using ncftp, try with something else. Some people had 
troubles because of a bug where ncftp only uploads in ASCII mode, even when you 
tell it to use binary mode.

Ok. I have been following the official documentation. And I have gone thru it 2 
times.

I downloaded the savannah_helper script. It failed on the create. And it failed
on the upload. I did a hand , step by step walk thru of what the code did.

I have a new key, put it in the gpg area. I have uploaded 
cfengine-2.1.4b1.tar.gz.sig
and cfengine-2.1.4b1.tar.gz

And I am now currently waiting for this to show up in 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/cfengine/

Time 3:11...

waiting....

time 3:17...

Still no files in the download area.

What is the next step?

The official documentation is:
https://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=5802&question=How_do_I_add_files_in_the_download_area.txt

The savannah_helper script should be right as well.
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3026

If that still does not work, the best would be to upload a sample file along 
with its signature at this request, so I can test myself and check what is 
wrong.
