I have one 35MB tarball to share with Linaro folks. It's too big to distribute through email. Is there any infrastructural solution for such general file sharing purpose? (The launchpad PPA is for package than general file sharing, and I do not want to bother.) Thanks.

Dropbox? UbuntuOne?

If it's not confidential, you can put it up as a release download file on Launchpad, rather than in a PPA, which avoids the whole deb-building thing. (There might be a thing for private downloads but I don't recall off hand.)
There are simpler places to just share a file, but if this is a source tarball release or snapshot that might be an appropriate place.

What are the contents? If it's source code, I'd suggest you unpack it and put it on git.linaro.org. Then you can make incremental updates in case you have new versions.

It's a test suite in binary. And I need favors from others to collect results on those boards that I do not have.
I'm going for the launchpad project file download way suggested by Martin.
Thanks, all.

Ok, makes sense. You could still do a git tree as well, to make it easier for others to run the testsuite repeatedly, but I'm not sure it's worth it if you don't expect that many people to use it.

You can request access to people.linaro.org which will expose your ~/public_html/ over http; file a RT ticket with your Launchpad account details (similar to git.linaro.org access).
If it's for other Linaro folks to access, you could put it in your home on git.linaro.org and tell them to get it from there (using scp or whatever).

Is there a particular reason that http://people.linaro.org doesn't show a list of accounts exposed via http?

Might not be easily doable with Apache; people.linaro.org is defined in the config as a virtualhost with its own document root and could serve documents under this directory (http://people.linaro.org/foo); the only difference is that it has UserDir enabled so that ~lool resolves to my ~/public_html/.
Maybe there's a way to have Apache list all http://people.linaro.org/~user urls though.

You can upload arbitrary files to Google Docs and share the link. Andrew and I use this to push release candidate files about before releasing them.
