It seems that the only "piece of the puzzle" you are missing from the
process, is an easy way to copy a package from build machines, to www.

Unfortunately, older maintainer accounts, do not have the scp set up to be
seamless by default.
But, since you have full login access to both machines already, you
yourself have the power to "fix" this, as on any other unix machine that
you scp to and from.

if you scp the .ssh/id_dsa.pub from login, back to your normal 
(desktop?) machine, then copy it from there, over to www, and then 
append it to the authorized_keys file there, then you will have just given
yourself access to scp directly between login.bo.opencsw.org, and
www.opencsw.org

I have also updated the web page with this information.
