Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-6875:
----------------------------------------
Thanks for the background, Rick; it's quite helpful. The distinction between
mirrored
versus archived releases is clearer now, and our ReleasePublication wiki page
makes
more sense as I read it in that context.
It seems that Infra have been tweaking their process somewhat, as some of the
Infra
links in our ReleasePublication page now get 404's. (And some of the links on
Infra's
own pages, e.g., http://www.apache.org/~henkp/ get 404's, too)
I think that, in addition to the changes I proposed above, we need a small
adjustment
to Step "c. Remove mirroring for older releases which no longer require it." in
ReleasePublication, because we now have a bit more stuff in the *.html page
which
we have to remove (formerly we could keep the mirroring section inside of
comments
and it would simply disappear once we dropped the CGI part).
So I'll do a bit of housekeeping on the wiki page as an additional sub-task 4 as
part of following through on this patch. As part of that, I'll edit some of
your contextual
notes from above into the wiki page(s).

> The download pages have a box for choosing a mirror.
> However this is broken - it does not contain a list of mirrors.
> This is because the HTML pages are broken.
> They should contain something like the following from
> http://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.html
> {code}
> <form action="[location]" method="get" id="SelectMirror">
> <p>
> Other mirrors: <select name="Preferred">
> [if-any http]
> [for http]<option value="[http]">[http]</option>[end]
> [end]
> [if-any ftp]
> [for ftp]<option value="[ftp]">[ftp]</option>[end]
> [end]
> [if-any backup]
> [for backup]<option value="[backup]">[backup]
> (backup)</option>[end]
> [end]
> </select><input type="submit" value="Change">
> </p>
> </form>
> {code}
> However they contain:
> {code}
> <form action="[location]" method="get" id="SelectMirror">Other mirrors:
> <select name="Preferred">
> <!--[if-any http] [for http]--><option value="[http]">[http]</option>
> <!--[end] [end]-->
> <!--[if-any ftp] [for ftp]--><option value="[ftp]">[ftp]</option>
> <!--[end] [end]-->
> <!--[if-any backup] [for backup]--><option value="[backup]">[backup]
> (backup)</option>
> <!--[end] [end]--></select> <input type="submit" value="Change">
> </form>
> {code}
> The required templating code has been commented out, so does not work.
