sftp access for binutils

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hello people.

I am helping Nick with the binutils releases, and I would need sftp
access to sourceware in order to update webpages and upload tarballs.

What is the way? :)
TIA!

Upgraded your account from rash to bash.  Enjoy carefully.

Thank you Frank.
Tried with sftp and it worked.

Note that for the websites update we want to setup a binutils-htdoc.git
repo like other sourceware projects have so that you can just update
the website through git:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/binutils/a3ecae09-2858-4b60-9fd0-6c0618c51424@redhat.com/

But I didn't want to do this switch in the middle of a release. With
the 2.42 release out the door, now might be a good time to do that. But
please let me know if you first want to do some website updates the
old-fashion way.

Cheers,

Mark

I think that now would be a really good time to set this up, if you
don't mind.  Thanks.

Done using the guide at
https://sourceware.org/sourceware-wiki/OSNewWebHosting/

There is now a binutils-htdocs git repo which can be updated by anyone
in the binutils group (note that is a smaller group of people than
have access to the binutils-gdb repo, which is the src group, so
original gdb hackers cannot).

Any update to binutils-htdocs should show up under
https://sourceware.org/binutils/

Unfortunately I couldn't get all history. There are only the original
cvs commits from 1999 to 2017. Everything after I had to update by
hand.

There is also a cgit index: https://sourceware.org/cgit/binutils-htdocs/

Please let us know if anything doesn't work as intended.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark,

> Please let us know if anything doesn't work as intended.

This may just be me being stupid, but...

I cloned the repository like this:

   git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-htdocs

Made some edits, ran git commit and then git push, but I
received this message:

   fatal: remote error: service not enabled: /git/binutils-htdocs

Should I have cloned the repository using ssh: instead of git: ?

Cheers
   Nick

Yes, use ssh: to be able to push.  The git: protocol isn't
authenticated and doesn't support the push service.

Fair enough - I switched to ssh: and everything has worked.

Is it possible to change the error message to something slightly
more helpful for people like me, who make this mistake ?

(To be honest I chose the git protocol because it was the first
one listed on the binutils cgit page in the "Clone" section).

No, it comes from git internals. :(

Or add to your $HOME/.gitconfig:

[url "ssh://sourceware.org/"]
     pushInsteadOf = git://sourceware.org/

That is a neat trick, thanks!

Hi Mark, Hi Frank,

   I just wanted to say "thanks very much" for doing this.  I have
   been able to make an update to the web pages using this new system
   and I have just sent an announcement about it to the binutils
   mailing list.

Cheers
