Absolutely not ; such changes in archive.apache.org
are never made ; archive.a.o/dist/ is just a copy
of www.apache.org/dist/ without deletes.
Hi Andrea,
I see. Well, would at least be possible to put a symlink named "1.x-3.x" in
http://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/ that goes to
http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/ ?
IMHO symlinks and redirects reduce simplicity and clarity,
because it soons turns into a confusing 'spaghetti' that
is hard to document or understand for future maintainers.
Users don't care where old stuff lives ; they just click urls.
Nevermind ; if you want it, here is how:
I can create a symlink for you on archive.apache.org
dist/openoffice/3.3 => ../incubator/ooo/3.3
[ ... or AOO could add the link to dist/openoffice and remove it later ;
the link would remain in archive.a.o, of course.
]
Maybe it is better to use a 'Redirect'.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect
In dist/openoffice you can add a .htaccess-archive file
Redirect /3.3/ http://archive.apache.org/dist/ooo/3.3/
Redirect /3.4.0/ http://archive.apache.org/dist/ooo/3.4.0/
etc
A ".htaccess-archive" file only has meaning on archive.apache.org.
It really doesn't make sense
to have our archives split in two places, especially considering that the
"incubator" part contains old files that were released years before
OpenOffice entered incubation.
This would allow at least to use
http://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/
as our only archive URL.

Henk Penning
