Well, the idea of releasing a 1.0.1 hasn't reached consensus so I'm going to stop working on that. As you say, the above approach may cause pain for some users. However I would agree that the above is better than doing nothing. I can't summon any enthusiasm for actually performing the above myself, but won't vote against it if someone proposes formally to do this. To modify ibiblio's setup I believe all that is necessary to do is to log on to people.apache.org and rename/update files in directory /www/www.apache.org/dist/java-repository/commons-cli as described in section 8 of this document: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/release.html I would also suggest hacking the commons-cli website directly on the people.apache.org server, ie at: /www/jakarta.apache.org/commons/cli to note that there was a problem with the 1.0 release and that people should see the commons-cli wiki page at http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/CLI for more info. And then of course the wiki page should be updated to reflect whatever action was taken. Note that if changes are made to a jakarta website on people.apache.org it may take a few hours to be replicated to the actual jakarta.apache.org server. However the changes on people.apache.org *can* be viewed immediately via fiddling with proxy settings as described in section 10 here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/release.html Regards, Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
