Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-6223:
------------------------------------
We still host all the release versions and the links work from the download
page, they are just not in the mirrors. IMO, projects that need to download
tar.gz files repeatedly should use their own storage (like Confluent is doing).
That seems like the polite thing to do, no?
> Please delete old releases from mirroring system

> Key: KAFKA-6223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6223
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/kafka/
> Reporter: Sebb
> Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
>
> To reduce the load on the ASF mirrors, projects are required to delete old
> releases [1]
> Please can you remove all non-current releases?
> It's unfair to expect the 3rd party mirrors to carry old releases.
> Note that older releases can still be linked from the download page, but such
> links should use the archive server at:
> https://archive.apache.org/dist/kafka/
> A suggested process is:
> + Change the download page to use archive.a.o for old releases
> + Delete the corresponding directories from
> {{https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/kafka/}}
> e.g. {{svn delete https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/kafka/0.8.0}}
> Thanks!
