Sebb commented on CASSANDRA-6490: --------------------------------- The recommended way to do this is as follows: Following a successful release vote: - publish the release artifacts (add to dist/release/cassandra) - publish Maven artifacts via Nexus (if relevant) - wait a day for mirrors to catch up (most will do so in less than a day) - update the website download page to point to the new releases; older releases links should point to the archive server (this is published immediately) - send the announce message - a few days later, delete the older releases from dist/release/cassandra That should not result in any 404s. > Please delete old releases from mirroring system > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-6490 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6490 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/ > Reporter: Sebb > Assignee: T Jake Luciani > > To reduce the load on the ASF mirrors, projects are required to delete old > releases [1] > Please can you remove all non-current releases? > Thanks! > [Note that older releases are always available from the ASF archive server] > Any links to older releases on download pages should first be adjusted to > point to the archive server. > [1] http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#when-to-archive -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
