master.gnome.org and FTP server restructurement

[Martin Baulig <martin home-of-linux org>]

Hi guys,

when we disabled anonftp on ftp.gnome.org a while ago,
everything which was not somewhere below /pub/GNOME/ has
become unaccessible since our mirrors didn't pick this up.

This afternoon, I spend some time improving the situation
and I rearranged things on the ftp server a bit.

We now have a new server, master.gnome.org, which lives
in /ftp-master on canvas.gnome.org (the CVS machine) and
which allows anonftp.

I moved everything which was on ftp.gnome.org, but not in
/pub/GNOME/ to master.gnome.org and also changed the directory
structure a bit.

The most important change is

    ftp.gnome.org/people    -> master.gnome.org/people
    ftp.gnome.org/pub/guppi -> master.gnome.org/projects/guppi
    ftp.gnome.org/pub/grpm  -> master.gnome.org/projects/grpm  (*)
    ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib -> master.gnome.org/projects/imlib (*)

I also removed a lot of old cruft from 1998 and 1999 on the
server.

(*) can someone please look at this, this seems to be pretty
much obsolete and old.

That guppi directory seems to be actively maintained, so now
that it's on master.gnome.org it has become accessible again :-)

For the moment, everything which was in ftp.gnome.org/pub/contrib
is gone since it all was from 1998.

If anyone wants to provide binary tarballs, they should be either
in ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/contrib/ so that mirrors pick them up
or we can also create master.gnome.org/contrib/.
