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?

I believe you found the problem.
The procedure you followed is meant for nongnu project.
As a GNU project, you can upload at ftp.gnu.org. All you need is to follow the 
detailed instructions at http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_20.html. It is very 
similar to what you did at Savannah, since Savannah's system comes from 
ftp.gnu.org.

Tell us when you have a file uploaded at ftp.gnu.org so as to confirm that is 
the right explanation.
(incidentally you do have to upload the gpg comments when you upload your key 
at Savannah, but you already fixed it)

I am looking in http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cfengine/
for the file that I uploaded to show up. Is that where I should expect it?

Ok. I have re-added my key to the gpg key area. I have used the default 
key.

I did not put the --- gpg key ----- comments around it. Should I have?

I have uploaded the cfengine* files again as a test.

OK, your signing the files correctly and uploading them to Savannah as you 
should, but your public key on file is not available on any keyserver(s) I 
checked

  [$] address@hidden (~/tmp) gpg --import KEYS.john
  gpg: key 404045E0: "John Sechrest (TEmp Cfengine upload key) 
<address@hidden>" not changed
  gpg: Total number processed: 1
  gpg:              unchanged: 1
  [$] address@hidden (~/tmp) gpg --verify test.txt.sig
  gpg: Signature made Thu Apr  8 22:24:06 2004 UTC using DSA key ID 670BFAE6
  gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

Can you please:

  1)  Push your public key to a keyserver (see the guides
      on <http://www.gnupg.org> if you need any help on
      this)
  2)  Make sure that the key your using to sign the file
      (test.txt) is the key we have on file (in
      <http://savannah.gnu.org/my/>)

Thanks! :)

Here is the test.txt.sig file 

-------------------------------------------------------
Date: Fri 04/09/04 at 01:26         By: sechrest
Ok. I have uploaded test.txt and test.txt.sig into 
ftp://savannah.gnu.org/incoming/savannah/cfengine

And I am including the same files as attachments.

Bah!  I got the path wrong.  Sorry about that.

Can you try uploading to `/incoming/savannah/cfengine' ?

John, can you to attach the two files (the file and the detached .sig) to this 
tracker, please?  Thanks.

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 :/

Oops..., Ok, I am attatching foo.test and foo.test.sig

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.
