Binaries should be uploaded as a tarball (or whatever is good for the platform). Sourceforge has changed the file release area to a normal directory structure created and filled with ssh / scp. So you create a directory following the layout used by the project and copy one or mmore tarballs into it.

Patches should be committed to svn.

There is one directory for each platform. For example MinGW:

./mingw/SOURCES/gcc-4.2-20061219.diff
./mingw/SOURCES/gcc-4.2-20070307.diff
./mingw/SOURCES/gcc-4.2.0-20070501.diff
./mingw/SOURCES/gettext-0.16.1.diff

Inside each platform we usually use an rpm like directory structure:

…/BUILD     - temp build dir
…/LOGS      - log files
…/SCRIPTS   - shell / cmd build scripts
…/SPECS	    - rpm build scripts
…/SOURCES   - source and patch files
…/TARS      - final output dir for tar files
…/RPMS      - final output dir for rpm files
…/SRPMS     - final output dir for rpm sources

“Usually” — It is our spare time so if you consider the layout a hindrance then use something else.

Only for a platform where rpm is preferred. I also tried rpm for mingw but it is tricky. But then mingw is tricky.

The sources wiki is not a wiki but gnathtml generated documentation. Normally gnathtml is only included in Gnat/Pro but we have a copy. Actually a very old copy. We need to find a new sponsor.

Super idea.

Two levels: The wiki itself keeps the last 30 days of edits in a history. And from time to time we download the wiki (with rsync) and commit it to subversion (http://gnuada.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnuada/pmwiki). Which I do right now (downloaded this morning - still have to commit).
