As you might know, we are using Savannah now to host files, CVS, bugs, and
mailing lists. The only thing not there is the wiki (documentation).

There is one important thing you must do if you are uploading files to the
server via SCP (once you put you GPG key and such).

Files uploaded are for you user only. Which means the uploads have the wrong
permissions meaning no one but the uploader can rename, edit, remove or
anything :( This is very bad. Everyone should be able to use this server.
So....

Always run

chmod 2777 file/folder/gpgsig

after you upload (2777 being everyone has access to read, write, and
execute)

eg:

smkdir 0.8.21
scp glob2-0.8.21_win32.zip
scp glob2-0.8.21_win32.zip.sig
chmod 2777 0.8.21
chmod 2777 0.8.21/glob2-0.8.21_win32.zip
chmod 2777 0.8.21/glob2-0.8.21_win32.zip.sig

Should fix it. Then whenever you run

scp [info]

or similar, add

chmod 2777 folder/file just copied over

This will fix it.

On a side note, I got WinSCP working (well, actually its SFTP, which works
the same and better). Anyway, its working on Windows and I'll be putting
instructions on the wiki. And I put all 0.8.15 stuff in a folder.
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/glob2/. So all those with
windows computers handy can benefit from it. I'll be experimenting with a
linux based one soon enough too ;) The WinSCP tutorial I'll make which
handled permissions automatically, so you dont have to run the command above
everytime, so it might be worth using ;) Its also a lot easier (drag and
drop)).

Thanks for reading.
