I see bug-automake is CC:ed on this message.  Is this about a bug in
gnupload, and if yes, what's the nature of the bug?

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Aubrey is able to upload to savannah.nongnu using the direct commands
(rsync/scp/sftp), but not using gnupload.  It surprises me.  Quoting
parts of the previous messages, he ran gnupload this way and failed:

  bash-3.2$ gnupload --to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:releases/freesnell/ 
/home/jaffer/pub/FreeSnell.zip
  Signing /home/jaffer/pub/FreeSnell.zip...
  Uploading /home/jaffer/pub/FreeSnell.zip to [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:releases/freesnell/...
  You tried to execute: scp -d -t releases/freesnell/
  Sorry, you are not allowed to execute that command.
  lost connection

But ran scp directly this way, and succeeded:

  bash-3.2$ scp FreeSnell.zip FreeSnell.zip.sig 
dl.sv.nongnu.org:/releases/freesnell/
  FreeSnell.zip 100%  585KB 292.4KB/s   00:02
  FreeSnell.zip.sig 100%  189 0.2KB/s   00:00


Thanks,
Karl

 Not all system's man programs cope with compressed manpages.  I know

 I assume so too.  I think non-archaic rpm has some nice macros that
 make building autoconfiscated packages easy.  My bet would be that
 those rpm macros compress the docs.

Similarly, the dh_compress program used in many Debian packages
automatically finds and compresses any Info documents and
manpages (and some other kinds of files) that are not already
compressed.
