I need to upload my projects to somewhere first. I am
working without a home base at the moment. 
The easiest thing would be to us sm as a repository as
well as a listing.

Yes. I figured that out too. Still the way it is
presented is confusing IMHO.

Reply:

Yes. I did. And could not get sm to accept the
release. So I am specifically trying to find someone.
who has uploaded to sm and then successfully edited a
release.

  Thanks Trygve for your help. If I can't get an
answer to my query I'll try loading stuff  to some
other archive and supply the url.  

Still if someone has had experience with using the
upload features of  sm to release a package please let
me know what you did.

I also need to say that I am uploading and releasing
things using a IE browser and not from squeak. If
there is a way to do it from squeak I'm not aware of
it yet.
