Hi Everyone,

For those that upload files to hobbes.nmsu.edu , the system used at hobbes is CASE sensitive.

Please ensure all the text matches between the file name and the template  file that goes with it. (the filenames, not the contents of the template).

Also, if replacing an earlier file, make sure that the case listed matches the file listed found in the archive.

The easiest option is to ensure all file names are lowercase but its your call :)

Note that if you have a failed upload, you can either rename the file OR delete the file, you have a few minutes in which to do this.

Hihi Ian,

Must the extension be zip or can we use also Rar or Tar or Lz or Xz or 7z ?

Ian, thank you.

Even more: Every file will be converted to lowercase. That means: If
someone uploaded a file in e.g. mixed case, a search for the mixed
case filename won't be successful.

The only way to handle this is to follow the Hobbes upload policy and
upload files only in lowercase.

I just know that also WPI is allowed since several years. The upload policy
document was written before that. I don't know how other archive formats
will be handled. Just ask the Hobbes archiver. IMO all the archive formats
you've mentioned make problems for people, so developers shouldn't use
them.

Only zip and wpi are acceptable with exe in the case of self extracting archives such as warpin occasionally acceptable. I'd advise zipping up any self extracting exe file.
