I consider that a total waste of time for the docs, but I'll let you decide if you want to use it for the srpms.
I've given you access to the shell area, but don't remember how to use it -- I logged in once. There is documentation on the site for how to get into it. I think you just ssh in, but you need to know the right address. The only thing I ask is that if you do upload files to the shell area, please delete them once you get them in the upload area, otherwise they start sending me email messages about the space usage which we are supposed to keep to a minimum. If you find that technique useful, please let me know how you did it, and also let me know if any of the other packagers need shell access.
