Hi Developers,
I'm going to try and be as verbose as possible about the procedure to upload your own release to inkscape.org, I need you to perform this task if you package any of our release packages because a) it's good practice and b) packages will be signed with your gpg key and it'd be an odd world where I could do that for you. :-)
Releasing on inkscape.org:
1. Make sure you have a user account on inkscape.org - Go to https://inkscape.org and look in the top right of the page and note your logged in status, use the links provided in the drop down to log in or register an account.
2. Make sure that your account has a big enough quota - Go to https://inkscape.org/user/ and hover over the "Upload Quota" bar, you will only see 10MB if you are a normal user at this time. If you do not see a 1GB quota then you need to contact a website admin (me) to put you into the releases group with the larger quota.
3. Make sure you have a public gpg key recorded. - Go to https://inkscape.org/user/edit/ and fill in the right boxes, the GPG Public Key box is expecting a pasted public key (not private key!) and hit submit when done.
4. Make a folder for your releases in your 'InkSpace'. - Go to https://inkscape.org/gallery/new/ and fill in the name of the folder you want to use. This folder is only for your own organisation and won't be seen by users.
5. Upload your released file - Go to https://inkscape.org/user/ and drag your file to the new gallery folder created above. The upload may take some time but you should be able to see a progress bar as it uploads. (if you don't have javascript enabled, you can click on the folder and then click add and follow the manual form)
6. Enter all the details - Go into your folder and click on the newly uploaded item. It should have a red border indicating it's not yet published (if you used the drag+drop method) - Going into the editor section you should be able to fill in the title for the released file. - Paste in the release notes into the description. - Select 'Releases' from the category drop down. - Attach the sig file from your detached. - Select 'GPLv2' from the Licenses drop down. - Check 'Mirror' checkbox (if you have this) - Check 'Visible' checkbox Submit this form.
7. Verify and copy link - If everything's gone well you should now see your released file with a green padlock indicating the gpg signature has been verified against your account public key. - Download the release by clicking on the down-arrow icon. Confirm it's the file you intended. - Copy this download link.
8. Link from the downloads page. - For this step you will need CMS editor access or pass this task onto a website editor and/or translator. - Edit the downloads pages for the right OS and update with the right version, release and other details as you would want it to be presented to users. Add the copied link into the right place. - Save /and/ then hit the blue publish button.
Congratulations, you've uploaded, released and published your release file. Let the website administrator (me) know if you have any difficulty with this process.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

- Make sure you have a user account on inkscape.org
- Go to https://inkscape.org and look in the top right of the page and
note your logged in status, use the links provided in the drop down to log in or register an account.
I attempted to log in this way, but got an error,
Forbidden (403) CSRF verification failed. Request aborted. More information is available with DEBUG=True.
Tried several times, no dice. Then went to https://inkscape.org/user/edit, and got a different (full page) login screen. Entered the same credentials, and it let me in just fine. I logged out with the top right login manager, then used it again to log in and this time it let me in just fine.
Anyway, thought I'd mention it.
- Make sure that your account has a big enough quota
- Go to https://inkscape.org/user/ and hover over the "Upload Quota"
bar, you will only see 10MB if you are a normal user at this time. If you do not see a 1GB quota then you need to contact a website admin (me) to put you into the releases group with the larger quota.
Looks like I'm at only 10MB, so I'll need increased. I upload about 100MB of source packages for each pre-release and release so I expect even 1GB will go quick.
- Make sure you have a public gpg key recorded.
- Go to https://inkscape.org/user/edit/ and fill in the right boxes,
the GPG Public Key box is expecting a pasted public key (not private key!) and hit submit when done.
Done
- Make a folder for your releases in your 'InkSpace'.
- Go to https://inkscape.org/gallery/new/ and fill in the name of the
folder you want to use. This folder is only for your own organisation and won't be seen by users.
- Upload your released file

gallery folder created above. The upload may take some time but you should be able to see a progress bar as it uploads. (if you don't have javascript enabled, you can click on the folder and then click add and follow the manual form)
Any way to get multiple file upload?
I'm uploading Inkscape source packages, so none of the Categories fit exactly. I stuck it in Inkscape Build, but it's not a build. Perhaps 'Inkscape Package' would be a better categorization?
Is there an API I could use to automate the upload of these files? With Wayland and Cairo, they have a release.sh script which does make dist, signs stuff, and uploads the tarballs to the central server. It saves a huge amount of time to have a one-button-release.
- Enter all the details
- Go into your folder and click on the newly uploaded item. It should
have a red border indicating it's not yet published (if you used the drag+drop method)
- Going into the editor section you should be able to fill in the
title for the released file.
- Paste in the release notes into the description.
Hmm, I wonder if we could do this better? A link to the actual release notes posted to the website would be better than re-pasting the text here, wouldn't it?
- Select 'Releases' from the category drop down.
- Attach the sig file from your detached.
- Select 'GPLv2' from the Licenses drop down.
- Check 'Mirror' checkbox (if you have this)
- Check 'Visible' checkbox
Submit this form.
What is 'External Link' about? There was a 'Publicly Visible' checkbox but no 'Mirrored' checkbox.
- Verify and copy link
- If everything's gone well you should now see your released file with
a green padlock indicating the gpg signature has been verified against your account public key.
- Download the release by clicking on the down-arrow icon. Confirm
it's the file you intended.

This is a very annoying bug. When the site is requested, it doesn't set a csrf token for the first home page and I have /no/ idea why not. There isn't much online about it.
I've set a CSRF secure token option in the settings to see if it helps. Anyone let me know if you see this error.
Looks like I'm at only 10MB, so I'll need increased. I upload about 100MB of source packages for each pre-release and release so I expect even 1GB will go quick.
I tried to add a 10GB quota, the number field maxed out at 2GB, must be a db limit. I've changed the code for the next version to use KiB for the quota setting instead of bytes.
Any way to get multiple file upload?
Drag multiple files? (works here)
I'm uploading Inkscape source packages, so none of the Categories fit exactly. I stuck it in Inkscape Build, but it's not a build. Perhaps 'Inkscape Package' would be a better categorization?
Aye, suv asked me to change it from release to build. But I guess package makes just as much sense. This ok with you suv?
Is there an API I could use to automate the upload of these files?
The drag and drop makes an ajax call, you can use that if you like. But it doesn't set descriptions or other settings, just uploads the files. Plus the complexity of getting some authorised cookies and it's not ideal for a script. Some sort of REST api could be added to the feature wishlist on launchpad bugs. Be sure to mention how you'd like it to work.
Hmm, I wonder if we could do this better? A link to the actual release notes posted to the website would be better than re-pasting the text here, wouldn't it?
It depends here. We may want the website release notes to be more user orientated and the readme notes more developer. I figured this and added the readme download view so you could say: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3044/readme.txt and scripts might be able to just grab that text for their own uses.
But it's up to you, let me know. Use the external link to link to more information.
What is 'External Link' about? There was a 'Publicly Visible' checkbox but no 'Mirrored' checkbox.
Mirrored is only available to people with the mirror permission. I've added it for your release master's group.
Thanks for setting this up Martin!
Happy to see it being tested! Thanks bryce!

Probably we need several tags (that last time I was asked to test uploading, it was for OS X _devel_ snapshot builds (trunk, 0.91.x), which at the time seemed wrong to me to be labelled 'release' IIRC (still would be, if there are plans to host those too on inkscape.org)).
Didn't check what is available right now.

OK... so in looking at things, I think releases need to be treated as EXTRA special. What I mean by that is that they need to have a straightforward and obvious human-readable url. This gallery item with a non-related number (as in not related to the release) is incredibly odd and off-putting. I really think that for releases the url should be along the lines of https://inkscape.org/en/download/0.91.x/Inkscape-0.91.0.exe and not https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3680/download/ (the first url is NOT REAL, the second is for a prerelease tarball which you probably don't need)
The current gallery item naming will probably cause more "alert" users to be overly cautious. I'm mainly bringing it up because when I saw the package urls from what bryce had uploaded my first thought was "I don't know what is at the other end of that url"... I'm not saying you ever really know or that you can't get re-directed away from what it says is your destination, just that it seems far more questionable. If I was unfamiliar with a project and saw a download that didn't point to an end file or an FTP directory, chances are I either wouldn't follow it or would otherwise seriously question why they're doing it that way and send an email.
Cheers, Josh

This is certainly a bug report Josh ;-)
It is possible to create a redirection, the problem is that we have this download url so we can track a count. If you want untracked file downloads, those are already available in the /media/resource/file/$filename urls.

So, can't we create human friendly urls that redirect to the download url so they still get tracked?

Of course, you'd have seen the patch go in if you had made a bug report :-P
The website team is growing, we're now at the point where we must be more insistent that problems and feature requests be recorded as bugs going forwards.
Thanks everyone.
Martin,
Cool beans! I will try to remember to search the web tracker first with issues before reporting things directly to you or bringing it up on the list. Kudos to the growth! :)

Once you have uploaded some files, you'll need to edit them to publish them for public view. I can't actually see anything at the link because the items haven't been edited yet.
Martin,
I modified them (checked the public visible option).
Do you see it now?
