54    12. Now you should upload the files to the GNU ftp server.  In order to
55        do that, you must be registered as an Emacs maintainer and have your
56        GPG key acknowledged by the ftp people.  Mail <ftp-upload@gnu.org>
57        for instructions.  Once you are there, for each file FILE to be
58        released, create a detached GPG binary signature and a clearsigned
59        directive file like this:
60         gpg -b FILE
61         echo directory: emacs/pretest > FILE.directive      (for a pretest)
62         echo directory: emacs > FILE.directive              (for a release)
63         gpg --clearsign FILE.directive
64        Upload by anonymous ftp to ftp://ftp-upload.gnu.org/incoming/ftp/
65        the files FILE, FILE.sig, FILE.directive.asc
66    
67  12. For the moment, put the tarballs on a public site and send a GPG  13. After five minutes, verify that the files are visible at
     signed email to <maintainers@gnu.org> with the URLs of the tarballs  
     and their md5sum signatures.  As of 2003-10, the GNU maintainers are  
     working on a better procedure.  For reference, here are the previous  
     instructions, which are no more valid after the break-in of 2003-08:  
      ====  
     For a pretest, do:  
     rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta compile-NEW.log \  
     emacs-NEW.announce alpha.gnu.org:/home/alpha/gnu/emacs/pretest/.  
     For a release, do:  
     rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta \  
     alpha.gnu.org:/home/ftp/gnu/emacs/.  
   
 13. Verify that the files are visible at  
68      ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ for a pretest, at      ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ for a pretest, at
69      ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ for a release.      ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ for a release.
