OK. > Regarding the archives, we could copy the old releases > from the various archive locations over to the new one. > Then either leave the old ones where they are, or put > HEADER.html files there with pointers to the new location. AFAIK, there's no access to the archives structure, except presumably for infra folks. Files are automatically copied there from the dist tree - I think that's the only way for non-privileged logins to add files to the archives. It also looks as though the archives have standard HEADER files already; it's not clear if these can be changed. > http://archive.apache.org/dist/commons/httpclient/ > http://archive.apache.org/dist/jakarta/httpcomponents/commons-httpclient-3.x/ > http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/ > (was supposed to be subdirectory commons-httpclient, > but is subdirectory httpclient-3.x for now) Once the release dist tree is sorted, I think we may need to get infra involved to sort out the archives. > cheers, > Roland > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
