Hi, as some of you may know, there is a new virtual host called archive.apache.org that is supposed to be the source for software archeologists, much as our ant.apache.org/old-releases folder is now.
archive.apache.org is setup to rsync from www.apache.org/dist without ever deleting anything, this means all new releases will end up there eventually at one point in time. I've gone ahead and copied over the contents of our old-releases folder to this box and want to propose that we start using it instead of /old-releases from now on. The benefits I see: * It is on cvs.apache.org, every committer has access to it. * You don't need to copy files around after a release, just remove the non-zips. * At a point in time, mirrors may want to pick up archive.apache.org as well - so we'd benefit from mirroring even for our old releases. * we'd remove downloads and not (CVS-)controlled content from our website. If this is accepted, I volunteer to update our ReleaseInstructions. Stefan BTW, I found that the source distribution of Ant 1.2 doesn't have a signature - the binary distribution is signed. Does anybody have an old copy of the ZIP archive and can verify that the file on archive.apache.org (or /old-releases) is the file it claims to be? If so, please sign it (or let me do it). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
