Currently the Attic process suggests modifying the
dist.apache.orgHEADER.html for a project. Then later, the directory is
deleted.

I'd like to flatten that and go straight to deleting the directory. I don't
think there is any value in maintaining the directory for a period of time
and it simplifies the process for moving something into the Attic.

Any -1s?


Hi Hen,

  +1 ; but I hope you want to keep process[3].2 :

strip dist/project and add a .htaccess containing :
RedirectMatch permanent .* http://attic.apache.org/projects/${project}.html

  that is, move process[3].2 to process[2].

  I can take care of it ; are attic commit rights sufficient?

  Re: process[3].1 delete the user list (unless still active) ;
  I wonder if that can also move to process[2].

  Groeten,

Why not a redirect to the archive.apache.org url for the project?

Joe said it would need svnadmin access currently. My aim is to avoid my
mistake of a few years back in which Attic JIRA issues required 
Attic+member karma. So I'm expecting to put it in the Infra ticket, but no
reason why you couldn't handle it there :)

Good idea. It's rare that we see active user mailing lists, if we have, so
I'm +1 to that being in the Infra-please-close ticket. We can apply a dose
of common sense if a list is still active.
