How to upload to a DPEL project

(This is after the project has been approved, and its web page created.)

Files (typically zip archives) are uploaded to AWS S3 in a separate upload bucket. Then, RE (Linux Foundation's Release Engineering department) moves the files from the upload bucket into the DPEL bucket, and reports the URL for each file. Then, the LF web team can insert or update the download links on the project's web page.

This is all coordinated via a help ticket, in the LF Jira system. Start by opening a ticket:

• Go to https://support.linuxfoundation.org .
• Login to your Linux Foundation account (LFID), or create one.
• Choose Project Services, then Get IT Help. Fill in Project = ASWF. (You can leave Services blank.)
• Fill in the details, and submit.

Files under 5 GB can be uploaded using the command "curl -X PUT", along the lines of:

curl -X PUT -H "X-amz-acl: bucket-owner-full-control" -T $SOURCE_FILE $UPLOAD_BUCKET_URL/$PROJECT_NAME/$FINAL_FILE_NAME 

... where $FINAL_FILE_NAME is the file name that users will see.

Files over 5 GB will need to be uploaded using the aws command line interface, or a similar tool.

You may wish to include a version number in your file names.
