Ah, understood. This is not the way you should do it - in fact you should never have done. Releases are supposed to take advantage of the ASF mirror system and the mirrors pick up stuff from www.apache.org/dist The download page either only is a template for a CGI script provided by our infrastructure gurus or uses http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/ (with an appropriate path replacing the /incubator/ part) to link to the things to download. It will never point to the mirrors for PGP signatures of MD5/SHA1 hashes, of course. > I guess with this release, once it passes the IPMC vote, we can create > a lucene.net under http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ and serve > from there?

Old releases are supposed to be on <http://archive.apache.org/dist/> which is a non-deleting mirror of <http://www.apache.org/dist/>. You could get all the old releases archived by putting them on www for a short time first but then all mirrors would pull them down just to delete them soon thereafter. We should ask infra whether there is a better way to move the old releases to the archive. Stefan
