infrastructure asks that all official releases are distributed from subdirectories of /www.apache.org/dist. this means that infrastructure team can gaurantee the availability and security of releases. podling releases are official releases by the Incubator project. the disclaimers we ask projects to include ensure that users understand their status.
therefore (as a matter of policy) these releases should be made available from within http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator but this is not made clear in Incubator policy. here is a policy patch that makes this clear: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-62 AIUI most current releases are store elsewhere. i'm willing to perform the necessary rationalisation work. moving releases into dist does highlight issues about long term availability and security of releases but i think that these are best discussed in separate threads. i'd like to ask the IPMC to approve this policy clarification. here's my +1 - robert --8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ] +1 Insist that releases are distributed within http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator [ ] +0 [ ] -0 [ ] -1 Do not apply this policy patch (reasons appreciated) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
