Re: [PROPOSAL] retiring old release directory

[robert burrell donkin]

i can probably manage commons but i'd be very grateful for some assistance 
with the rest of jakarta. if any committers are willing to lend a hand 
i've made some instructions but probably the general list is the best 
place to coordinate a plan of attack ;)

Subject: [PROPOSAL] retiring old release directory
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/release is the old,
unmirrored directory. most (all?) new releases have been created in the
mirrored directories (good work!) but there are still many older
releases
there and some components do not have mirrored releases available.

now that infrastructure have completed the move to minotaur, it's time
that we think about implementing the official ASF distribution policy.
(all committers should have read received this posted to their apache
account.) this is important since the ASF have only a limited amount of
bandwidth to supply both the website and downloads.
i'll volunteer to execute the necessary changes. my plan is:

1. ensure the latest release for every component is available from the
mirrors
2. copy all older releases to the archives
3. redirect all requests under the directory structure to a new page
explaining that you should use the mirrors and giving links to the
jakarta
download pages
4. delete the old directory structure
this decision will be taken by lazy consensus so unless anyone objects
(or
finds some flaws in my plan ;), i'll start executing this plan some
time
after 12 noon GMT wednesday.
