What to you call "GNU servers"? If you mean fencepost, then you should write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - same process. > 2) if my GPG key has been registered in the GNU maintainers DB (and, if not, > how long it will take before i will be able to use the FTP upload > procedure) This is a manual process handled by the FSF sysadmins. > 3) why a maintainer should ever need to register his GPG key twice (one on > [EMAIL PROTECTED] and another on [EMAIL PROTECTED]) - shouldn't maintainers > be automatically needed FTP upload access? Dunno, maybe you should ask the sysadmins when they get back to you. I believe they do a tighter identify check. > 4) will i ever receive a confirmation that my SSH key is enabled for > accessing > GNU servers and that my GPG key is enabled for automated FTP upload? Yes, the sysadmins should send you a mail once that is done. I agree this is confusing, but the 2 systems are separate. I'd consider ftp.gnu.org for all kind of official, mirrored release, and Savannah's as a more convenient download area. -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ Savannah-help-public mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
