It used to be that, but now ~ftp seems to point to something random (it only contains two subdirectories `incoming' and `outgoing', but that doesn't resemble what's visible on alpha.gnu.org). There's also /gnu/alpha on fencepost, which _appears_ to contains an the old version of ~ftp, but it's not the same as what I see at alpha.gnu.org -- it looks like maybe the current alpha was at somepoint cloned from what's in /gnu/alpha, but it's apparently diverged quite a bit since then. I've also seen a plea on the arch-users mailing list, asking people to bug savannah-hackers to allow sftp: (ssh's file-transfer protocol) access to savannah -- this would allow arch to have R/W access to archives stored there. In the long-term I'd like to have a official arch archive for emacs on savannah too (at least R/O), but in the short term anyplace that allows public R/O html access would be nice. So are there _any_ gnu sysadmin types out there reading this?
