--------------------------------------
Assignee: Abhishek Kumar
> Download page should link to mirrors
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: RANGER-5837
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5837
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Attila Doroszlai
> Assignee: Abhishek Kumar
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> [Download Apache Ranger page|https://ranger.apache.org/download.html] has
> direct links to {{downloads.apache.org}} and {{archive.apache.org}} for
> release tarballs, despite stating "closest mirror site selected
> automatically". It should use the mirror system by linking tarballs via
> {{closer.lua}}. Checksums and signatures should still be linked via
> {{downloads.apache.org}}. See
> https://infra.apache.org/release-download-pages.html
> Linking via {{closer.lua}} directs traffic to mirrors, reducing load on
> {{downloads.apache.org}} (hence the policy). It also avoids the need to
> update your links when releases are archived.
> Examples:
> - {{downloads.apache.org/ranger/2.9.0/apache-ranger-2.9.0.tar.gz ->
> www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/ranger/2.9.0/apache-ranger-2.9.0.tar.gz}}
> - {{archive.apache.org/dist/ranger/2.3.0/apache-ranger-2.3.0.tar.gz ->
> www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/ranger/2.3.0/apache-ranger-2.3.0.tar.gz}}
> Please also update the [release process
> doc|https://github.com/apache/ranger/blob/49f04a583e6e1e0ae0b4332021ed94b6b84fe56f/mkdocs/docs/project/release-process.md?plain=1#L416]
> to reflect that.
> Suggested changes for the above:
> https://github.com/adoroszlai/ranger/commit/6dd341963f4b000a0d5cd054a483ee2e92f1b8ef
> Also: "You should remove links to older releases that you no longer support".
> This usually means archived releases.
