Hi

this reminds of some important piece of information: If have switched how we 
provide distributions to http://www.apache.org/dist/felix.

We now use SVN PubSub as described in [1]. Our repo is [2].

The disadvantage (so to speak) is to get the artifacts there and remove the old 
ones: You might have to checkout the folder [2]. Then you can just do "svn add" 
and "svn rm" and "svn commit".

The big advantage is, that this becomes active immediately. So except for 
mirrors, the ASF distro location is immmediately up-to-date.

Also the downloads page is now http://felix.apache.org/downloads.cgi and is 
easily managed in a simple list file and the Apache CMS:

 * Edit the download list [4]
 * Edit the news page [5]
 * Commit changes
 * Publish site [6]

This immediately (within seconds) updates our site.

This all is about to be described on our Release Management with Nexus page [3].

Sorry for the inconvenience and short notice.

Regards
Felix
