Uploading to Marmalade is currently broken.

It is still possible to upload via Marmalades API though.

To upload via the API you need a token. You get your token via the API as well using you username and password.

I created this shell script to handle the upload for me.

I have stored my token in Mac OS X's Keychain. If you don't use Mac or Keychain - use something similar or put your token directly into the script.

The script goes to some length to make sure you don't upload something bogus to Marmalade:

• The file must be readable.
• The file must be either a Tar archive or a Lisp file (as reported by file(1)).
• You must answer 'yes' to confirm the upload.

The upload is handled by curl(1) and I use json to parse the feedback from Marmalade (install json with npm install json).

Feel free to use and adapt the script to your needs.

You could also take a look at @lunaryorns much more streamlined implementation of this script: http://www.lunaryorn.com/2014/03/28/unbreaking-marmalade.html
