Outstanding! The only change I would recommend is that you don't use the closer.cgi script on the .asc file. Since if the mirror gets hacked, they could add a trojan to the source, and regenerate the .asc file at the same time. But if folks always download the .asc from apache.org, they would have to hack the apache.org servers too.

Hi guys, I had to go through some hoops over the past couple of weeks to fit the activemq-cpp source distributions into the apache model, so I'd like to share what I've done ... First off, I used this page as a reference: http://www.apache.org/dev/mirror-guide-bodewig.html . Apache mirrors everything under /www.www.apache.org/dist. We have had the infrastructure team add a directory under there for activemq. All you need in order to write to this directory is to be a member of the activemq group. If you're not, you'll have to create an infrastructure issue to get yourself added. Under the dir activemq, I created the directory activemq-cpp/source for the source distributions of amq-cpp. Under the source dir, I've just dropped all the archive files (*.zip, *.tar.gz, *.zip.asc, *.tar.gz.asc) for the release versions. (NOTE: After you add files here, you should wait about 24 hours before notifying the lists since it takes a while for all the mirrors to pick up the files). From the download page, I've changed the links to make use of an apache CGI script to handle the mirrors. This is a quick and dirty way of doing this, but it works until we come up with a better way. An example usage of the link is the url below: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/activemq/activemq-cpp/source/activemq-cpp-1.1-src.zip The cgi script "closer.cgi" takes a file resource relative to www/www.apache.org/dist and generates a download page for it with the list of mirrors. To see this in action, go to the amq-cpp 1.1 download page here: http://activemq.apache.org/activemq-cpp-11-release.html ... and click on one of the archives. You'll be taken to a generic-looking download page. Like I said, this is a quick and dirty for now, but it works! :) Regards, Nate
