That seems correct.  There are really several cases I can see, ideally.  I'm 
assuming that we extract a package name (maybe the basename of the .tar 
file?)

1) Is uploader logged into an account?
   No: put in a temporary directory, send mail to admins to check it out
   manually.  This directory is not available on the web server.

2) Did it pass ccanlint?
   No: Check it into junkcode/<packagename>-<author> (replacing old if
   exists).  This "junkcode" section *is* available on the web server.

3) Does ccan name clash with existing directory name?
   No: Check it into repo/<packagename>
   Yes: is it the same author as the old one?
	Yes: replace the existing directory in the respository.
	No: use <packagename>-<author>?  And warn uploader somehow.

Perhaps a .zip file as well?

I'd like it directly checked into the repository.  That avoids the problem 
that Adam was talking about with the client having to understand all the 
different types.

OK, I think that's fixed.  Please complain if it's not...

Cheers,
Rusty.
