Hi,
Some comments/ideas:
1. I think we should open an issue with INFRA so they are aware ouf our
~3TB/month load requirements. I imagine they'll prefer we use the mirror
network.
2. We can make http://netbeans.apache.org/updates/9.0/ redirect to
wherever we want (we _don't need a specific domain_ for that) by using a
simple .htaccess file (much like [1]). We can do this ourselves, today.
Let me know if you want to try it out with, say, the 9.0-beta files. I
think Infra should validate that our web server is going to hold the
load, though.
3. If we use the mirror system we'll be losing statistics. AFAIK the
mirror network does not consolidate server logs.
4. Now that we're talking about releasing NBMs maybe we should start
thinking on releasing stuff to Maven central (as NetCAT required). How
are maven central artifacts generated? I don't think we have this
tooling under the Apache umbrella, have we?
Cheers,
Antonio

I believe this is about NBMs built from the standard distribution. Good
among others for dot-dot updates, where the users could just download
updated modules, not the whole distro.
I think the current overall idea (based on ideas by many other people, like
Jarda):
-release the NBMs and the catalog as part of the convenience binaries (this
will probably need a little tweaking)
-have a (NetBeans 9.0-specific) URL setup on the netbeans-vm, like e.g.:
http://netbeans-vm.apache.org/updates/9.0
which would do a redirect to the Apache release using:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua?action=download&filename=<path>
this should automatically redirect to mirrors.
Not sure if we can fully test this without doing a release, but my plan for
a near future was to change our continuous build (one of them) to produce
the NBMs and then ask to have the redirect setup - then we could do at
least some testing.

Hi all,
We need to nail down this one and I think the key blocker is that there are
different ideas about what this is about:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-330
The above is not about the Plugin Portal.
If I understand it correctly, this is about where the NBMs (which ones? how
many? do we know?) and the related XML file (a.k.a. update center) will be
hosted.
AFAIK, the XML file and the NBMs could be put onto our Apache NetBeans VM
just like Synergy:
http://netbeans-vm.apache.org/synergy
The key question remains, which NBMs are we talking about here, applicable
to the 9.0 release, I think.
Thanks,
Gj
