rsync failed to set permissions

[rgommers]

After trying to sync gh-30 just now, I get:

$ make upload USER=rgommers
rsync -r -p build/dist/ rgommers@docs.scipy.org:/srv/docs_scipy_org/doc/
rsync: failed to set permissions on "/srv/docs_scipy_org/doc/.": Operation not permitted (1)

The doc upload did work, and the 1.3.2 docs appear to be fine. Perhaps after an update the www-data group permissions can not be changed anymore. By default rsync -r -p only works for files if the user doing the rsync is already the owner or is root. IIRC there was some workaround for that, but I don't remember which one or why it was needed. Maybe the -p should simply be removed.

I think the username/file owner on the machine I used was different than the one I used with make upload ... if that is what you mean?

I think tyler owns the files on the machine & treddy is the upload USER on the command line. I use a different machine for make dist because it is more reliable on an another Ubuntu machine for me.

No that's not what I mean, your upload seemed fine. You uploaded the built docs, I'm talking about the rsync of the last commit to this repo, which I did today and which showed the reported permission errors.
