another update for ftp-upload script documentation

[Ward Vandewege-3]

Currently,

  http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/FTP-Upload-Directive-File-_002d-v1_002e1.html

has a number of examples at the bottom, one of which is:

====================

Archive an old file, taking it offline:

     version: 1.1
     directory: bar/v1
     archive: foo-1.1.tar.gz
     comment: archive an old file - it will not be available through FTP anymore

====================

Right after that, I'd like to see another example added:

====================

Archive an old directory (with all contents), taking it offline:

     version: 1.1
     directory: bar/v1
     archive: foo
     comment: archive an old directory - it will not be available through FTP anymore

====================

Can you make that change?

Thanks,
Ward.

I'm not the person to ask here, but to make Karl's life easier, here's
the request as a patch against current git gnulib sources.

Cheers,
Ralf

Good, thanks Ward.

    the request as a patch against current git gnulib sources.

Thanks for doing that, Ralf.  I appreciate it.

I updated the master sources and http://gnu.org/prep/maintain.

I'll update gnulib as soon as I have a chance, although realistically,
it'll be a few days at best.  Ralf, if you feel like pushing it there,
please go ahead.  (But if you don't, that's fine too :)

Hmm, does <http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=gnustandards> not point to
the master sources?  Because the change isn't in there, and I'd like to
avoid things getting out of sync unnecessarily.

Cheers,

It does.

    Because the change isn't in there,

I just forgot to do the cvs commit.  Done now.
Thanks for catching it so quickly.
