Does this solve ASF's issue about having users access the main servers?
I don't try to solve an issue, just to propose an alternative. It's a free user
choice, but with more elements
What do you put on the mirrors and how do you stop users from accessing the
development SVN which is ASF's concern?
Things stay as they are, it's only that we inform our users than another way is possible and we give them enough elements of comparison to choice,
it's called freedom

For the licence free issues (an other related stuff) we could put a disclaimer
in the wiki page where all alternatives would be explained

In the past the ASF Board asked to the OFBiz PMC to fix the release
strategy of the project by providing officially voted release files thru
the ASF mirrors: at that time we were pushing the users to get the trunk.
Officially asking the user to use a release branch would be better than the
trunk but would bring back similar concerns: an official vote is required
to publish a product to the outside of the project in order to guarantee
License free issues etc...

Hi,
In a recent user ML threadhttp://markmail.org/message/ivjocjr2ull7lwqe I
suggested we could propose our users to use a release branch strategy
rather than downloaded packages.
And that we could expose this way of doing in our download page, or maybe
better with a link to an explaining page (in details) in the wiki.
I know it's not the recommended way of doing at the ASF. But we all know
the OFBiz differences when compared with other TLPs which are mostly libs,
and even mostly jars.
Most of us are actually using this way in their custom projects and I have
a feeling it would not only help our users but also us to support them.
What do you think?
Jacques
