ok :-)

login, and "add a new file" via the "add new article" menu.

I noticed it immediately and removed the file from my account, hoping it would disappear from deken but it's still there! I gave it a second try (with a different directory), same results. 


afaics this part works as expected.
deken displays
> moonlib/0.3.4_Pd_0.47 (moonlib Windows binaries (Pd >= 0.47))

which is indeed a mixture of the descriptive article name ("moonlib
Windows binaries...") and info parsed from the actual filename (a
<library>/<version> information "moonlib/0.3.4_Pd_0.47").

which - i think - makes total sense.
the version information is *crucial*; just having "moonlib Windows
binaries (Pd >= 0.47)" could mean anything (well, at least manything).

the logic that creates those display names is rather simple: if the
uploader cared to give a name, then you get "<libraryname>/<version>
(<articlename>)".
(it needs to be simple and still contain meaningful information; just
having "<articlename>" is not foolproof enough, as the uploader could
give an arbitrary name; and in fact when using the Plone-Software-Center
(everything under /downloads/) these names usually lack both libraryname
and version)

that's a bit hard to debug.
what's the URL of the not showing-up file?

*this* one does show up.

for me (and i figure: everyone), deken returns two moonlib uploads by
you, both named "moonlib/0.3.4_Pd_0.47 (moonlib Windows binaries (Pd >=
0.47))".
one lives in
http://puredata.info/Members/spacechild1/externals/moonlib/
the other directly in
http://puredata.info/Members/spacechild1/externals/

i don't see any 3rd upload. (also i don't see any additional upload when
i browse /Members/spacechild1)

the last link, however, is broken.


the reason for the broken link is a caching problem on the deken server.
it needs to be fixed by me.
