Not found Error on FTP.osuosl.org

please include links to your project node, and the release node where you see the problem. thanks.

taherk - when I go to http://drupal.org/node/127548/release I don't see any releases.

Can you clarify if you've deleted all the releases or something?

Please don't change the releases after submitting an issue because it makes troubleshooting very difficult (and can also break more things...)

ok, I found them now at http://drupal.org/node/128944 and http://drupal.org/node/127886

I don't know how you've done this, but that's not right... :/ So, I deleted them so that we can start fresh.

If you can, download and watch this movie: http://drupaldojo.com/lesson/lesson-5-get-your-cvs Specifically the section starting at an hour into the screencast covers creating projects and release nodes on drupal.org

Otherwise, you can also read this: http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/releases

Otherwise, drop into #drupal in irc and we can discuss this there.

In general, please go slowly through the "add new release" screens and read the instructions. If anything is confusing please ask in this issue and we can answer the question prior to creating the release so that we won't have to delete them again.

thanks.

So - taherk sent me a message via my contact form (note to taherk - discuss issues in the issue, not in someone's email via the contact form).

And has now created two new releases: http://drupal.org/node/129618 and http://drupal.org/node/127550

These are both basically wrong. However, I am now no longer able to delete nor edit them.

taherk, since you don't seem to want to read/watch the documentation I pointed you to, then can you please describe for us (in very simple and precise detail) exactly what you are doing when you create these nodes. I get the feeling that our resolution on this issue is going to involve 1) your release nodes finally getting created properly and 2) a patch to project to add some validation to the forms.

Entered the information and then it gave me success message and it would take 12 hrs before it completes. Then I clicked on EDIT tab and added my zip file.

So what am I missing here ?

good grief. ;) you're missing the entire point of how releases work: you give a tag, and the release is generated automatically based on that tag. that's what the docs say, and what the message you just referenced says. so, the fact you're impatient means you've been generating lots of extra work for the maintainers, and you *still* don't have a release anyone else can use.

it's a critical bug that the edit tab gives you a chance to upload your own file: http://drupal.org/node/111400
i just haven't had a chance to work on it since so much of my (very limited) time gets wasted dealing with support requests like this.

so, take #3: i just deleted all the bogus release nodes again. now, please follow the instructions. they say:

add your tag in CVS (this much you've already done)
make your release node
wait

no where do the instructions say "then, if it's taking too long, just go ahead and make a zip file of your code, and attach that to your release node"... so please don't do that. ;)

thanks,
-derek

i just commited and installed on drupal.org a fix so that the release node edit form never lets users upload and attach their own files, so hopefully no one else will be confused about this in the future, either.
