+# This script uploads .deb packages, creates a snapshot and publish a new
+# version. It expects as input the folder containing the *.deb files.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#   ./upload-artifacts ./dist/
+#
+# Inspired from
+# https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/blob/c9f5763a70ba2227e8bdf31c2f0ab7f481b6f2e0/upload-artifacts.sh
+#
+# Note that at least one package must have been uploaded from the server, and
+# the repo created. For example with the following commands:
+#
+#   aptly repo create -distribution=squeeze -component=main dvoting-release
+#
+#   aptly publish snapshot --distribution="squeeze" --gpg-key="XXX" \
+#     --passphrase "XXX" -gpg-provider="gpg2" dvoting-0.0.1 s3:apt.dedis.ch:
