Error on uploading Magento extension

问题:

After several attempts I have succeed to packaged one extension by using instructions from this PDF - http://info.magento.com/rs/magentocommerce/images/packagingmagentoconnectextensions6%200.pdf

Everything looks good, but when I try to upload the extension, it throws an error, saying that the filename should be in the format XXXXXX-1.0.0 format without the extension, where xxxxxxxxx is my form key, but when I try to upload the renamed copy of the packaged file (one that Magento connect manager extension generated), it throws these 2 errors:

An error occurred during upload to channel MagentoConnect 1.0: Unable to upload new release XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-1.0.0.tgz

An error occurred during upload to channel MagentoConnect 2.0: Package AnattaDesign_AbandonedCarts not found

I did a bit of research on the error and got to know this has been an issue with Magento in the past and people were facing the exact same issue. On some of them, I found @rondata replying back who was the community manager in back those days, but not sure if he still is.

So any clue how can I get this issue resolved? Whether it could also be an issue with how I packaged the extension? Or may be who is the current community manager and where can I seek some escalation on their uploader bug?

So I think I know what the reason is. When you are asked for the extension key when creating a new extension on magentocommerce.com, don't add the form key over there as your extension key. It's meant to be something unique like Namespace_Module.

When you do that, the error should go away and you should be all good!
