Nathan - (and other Velocity Tools committers),

We're being encouraged to clean up the Jakarta distribution directory -- see below. I cleaned up the Velocity directory but left the tools directory alone. It looks like there's a "current" set of files that may be redundant.

Best,

WILL

Subject: /dist/ space usage


Friendly reminder:

Jakarta is by far the largest user of space under www.apache.org/dist/. This isn't entirely because you produce lots of great software ;-) And it is important because this directly is replicated to hundreds of mirrors, including many new mirrors each month.

It seems that many of your projects have not recognized that only the most recent release should live on www.apache.org. Other releases are automatically copied to archive.apache.org/dist/ and will live on there indefinitely. A quick check reveals that almost all of your projects have many old releases in their dist directories that should be cleaned out. I've included a sorted list of the space usage below.

Please confirm to me that you have received and understood this message and will be taking some action to improve the situation.

Thanks.

Joshua (Mirror maintainer)
