More about gnupload --help.
First, all the existing examples in gnupload --help use automake 1.8.2b.
This isn't either of rms' recommended version number schemes for test
releases. Would you agree to changing to something generic, like
foobar-0.9.90? I'm happy to send a patch if you like, although of
course it is a trivial text change.
Second, I don't understand the point of having both examples 2 and 3.
If I am maintaining foo-latest symlinks, then surely I would want them
for all releases on all sites. So how about just dropping #2? I also
don't understand (from the help message) why #3 accomplishes this and #2
doesn't.
For reference, here are the two examples:
2. Same as above, but also create symbolic links to automake-latest.tar.*:
gnupload --to sources.redhat.com:~ftp/pub/automake \\
--to alpha.gnu.org:automake \\
--symlink-regex \\
automake-1.8.2b.tar.gz automake-1.8.2b.tar.bz2
3. Symlink automake-1.8.2b.tar.gz to automake-latest.tar.gz and
automake-1.8.2b.tar.bz2 to automake-latest.tar.bz2 on both sites:
gnupload --to sources.redhat.com:~ftp/pub/automake \\
--to alpha.gnu.org:automake \\
--symlink automake-1.8.2b.tar.gz automake-latest.tar.gz \\
automake-1.8.2b.tar.bz2 automake-latest.tar.bz2
Thanks,
Karl
