Is the problem that you can't figure out how to extract all the patches
from BK so you can put them up for FTP? Here, I'll do it for you:

        # extract all the patches from 2.5.0 onward.
        bk prs -hrv2.5.0.. | while read x
        do bk export -tpatch -r$i > ~ftp/patches/patch-$i
        done
