Oh boy, if only I could remember the steps I took.  ;)

In any case, the RPMs should either be uploaded to our webspace for us to link 
against, or they should be uploaded to sourceforge's fileserver where we can 
still link to them.  For download, that is.  I don't think they should be in 
cvs.  ;)

I don't have a link right off-hand, but sourceforge's documentation is fairly 
well organized, even if all of it reads like an FAQ.  Just look for the part 
that says "uploading files to the file server".  To upload to our webspace, 
here's a link that should work in any browser that understands sftp, such as 
konqueror (I don't know about Galeon, Mozilla, et al).

sftp://shell.sourceforge.net/home/groups/j/ja/jazzplusplus/htdocs/

You'll be prompted for username and password, and you use your sourceforge 
username and the password you gave for the website.

After you upload pretty much anything, apparently, you have to ssh to 
shell.sourceforge.net and chown :jazzplusplus 
/home/groups/j/ja/jazzplusplus/htdocs/path/to/your/files, and then chmod g+w 
the files.  Otherwise the rest of us won't be able to do anything to them 
except read them.  May not be that big a deal for something that's just gonna 
sit there for people to download, but it is a big deal on the webpages and 
graphics and stuff, where someone else here might want/need to edit them (I 
got burned by this thing twice in the same week for two different projects on 
two different servers).

You might be able to do the permissions thing from your sftp client, but I 
haven't been able to coerce mine to do it.

After you upload them, if you want to edit the /download/ webpage and add 
links, knock yourself out.  Otherwise you can just tell me where you put them 
and I'll put the links on the download webpage.
