Hello,

I can't find my way to enter the File Release System anymore. Could
anyone give me a hint?

Thanks,
Cesar

It used to be under the files page, but it looks like it's gone again.
 It looks like SF has made it so that only project admins can create
file releases (similar to what happened last time and Earnie put in a
support request to fix it).  It's now under the 'Project Admin' page
again (I can see if for another project in which I am an admin), which
I have no access to with the MinGW project.

Keith / Earnie, could you please submit another request to fix it?

Chris

I see there are a few requests already, for instance:

Access 'edit releases' with new site appearance
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/2142

Here is a workaround from the above ticket:
> It appears that the links show up right now if you view the Release
> Notes on an existing file while logged in, or if you directly go to
> a manger release URL
> (https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/editpackages.php?group_id=000000
> with your group id instead).

Fortunately, this advice worked for me.

Thanks,
Cesar

Keith and I are reviewing options we have with our NetworkRedux cloud  
and are beginning by looking at replacing the FRS with our own upload  
and distribution system.  We plan to use the Drupal CMS and  
contributed modules to deploy this plan.  We both have such disdain  
for the constant disregard for the administrators of the SF UI that we  
have decided to try to live them behind.  Anyone wishing to help  
please let me know.

First hit Develop tab and after the page refreshes you mouse over the  
Admin tab where you choose Downloads.
