Uploaded.
Btw, this is not how a package should be uploaded. A package should be
first put in a staging area and then moved to its final location when it
has been completely retrieved. If you download directly to the release
area you will have a chance of a mirror grabbing an incomplete tarball
while you are in the process of downloading the package to sourceware.
There's still a race when downloading to a staging area and moving the
files but it is a smaller window and, if the staging area, is in the
same filesystem as the release area, the window will be an
all-or-nothing file exists/doesn't exist scenario rather than a
partial-file scenario.
