"the HTML comments which constitute the form template into which the mirrors.cgi script splices in the mirror information will be removed by Forrest. It is necessary to add these comments back in to the release page before committing or letting the site go live on people.apache.org." I don't see these comments in the build output for the 10.1.3.1 release page, which is under subversion control. I'm confused about when these comments should be added back in. Would appreciate some advice.
Because the release pages can be updated for several different reasons, like the site map updating, I have spliced them back in where they live on minotaur at /www/db.apache.org/derby/releases. That way, if someone else comes along and updates the release page for some reason, they don't have to know about this particular little problem and svn will merge the comments into the updated file on minotaur. I know there was some discussion about this in the 10.1.2.1 timeframe but I can't seem to find the mail in the archives right now. So, what I've done has been: commit the file, do 'svn up' on minotaur, then edit the file on mino to put the form comments back in. If you like, you can see how this has been done for the other pages by running 'svn diff' in /www/db.apache.org/derby/releases/ on mino. You could just splice them back in and commit the file, but I figured the little extra effort would prevent the release page from becoming broken if someone else who wasn't aware of the issue updated the release page for some reason not related to a release. andrew
