You have to upload you public part of PGP key to website first.
Install Bazaar. To create repository use this command (username exchange
for your launchpad login):

bzr init sftp://username bazaar launchpad net/~gdesklets/gdesklets/0.3x

Then cd to some directory and download the content there:

bzr branch sftp://username bazaar launchpad net/~gdesklets/gdesklets/0.3x

copy the 0.35 version to this newly created directory (0.3x in this
case). CD there. Then add all files:

bzr add

Commit the changes:

bzr commit -m "initial import of 0.3x core"

Then push the changes to launchpad server:

push sftp://username bazaar launchpad net/~gdesklets/gdesklets/0.35x

This is the way I did it. There may be some other way but this works. If
you still have some trouble, let me know which files you want upload
there and I will do it. Hope I didn't forget something.

Cheers,
