 # This script expects the directory ~/samba-rsync-ftp to exist and to be a

+# ~/samba-rsync-ftp dir will be ready to be rsynced to samba.org. See the
+# script samba-rsync for an easy way to initialize the local ftp copy and to
+# thereafter update the remote files from your local copy.

+# This script also expects to be able to gpg sign the resulting tar files
+# using your default gpg key. Make sure that the html download.html file
+# has a link to the relevant keys that are authorized to sign the tar files
+# and also make sure that the following commands work as expected:
+#
+#   touch TeMp
+#   gpg --sign TeMp
+#   gpg --verify TeMp.gpg
+#   gpg --sign TeMp
+#   rm TeMp*
+#
+# The second time you sign the file it should NOT prompt you for your password
+# (unless the timeout period has passed).  It will prompt about overriding the
+# existing TeMp.gpg file, though.
