How do we prevent people from using this, and make it mirrorable? As I understand it, mirroring is a requirement.




Not necessarily a requirement. No one is prevented from linking directly to www.apache.org/dist to obtain our existing distributions. The reason, I mentioned that this should be a subdirectory of dist - as I understand it, everything under dist is mirrored. A script to point people at the mirrors would be encouraged.



doesn't prevent others from thinking about other ways to create a
repository - like Ruper, or the [repository] mailing list



The repository mailing list was the place for discussing the structure of
the repository/ directory, not the tools. Ruper, Maven, and any other tools
for any other project were supposed to use it. Tim Anderson did an
excellent job putting together a workable scheme with which to start. I
believe that there was sufficient agreement from everyone except Maven to
get going.


I don't denigrate the progress over on repository@, but I view this as a separate issue. I see this as a need to be met immediately.
