As I said some links just weren't updated to reflect the newer checksum distribution policy, but most were broken from pointing at the wrong download area/server and using the query arguments that aren't used there. That suggested the content was copied unchanged from download.html into past-releases.html, which it generally shouldnt be.
This commit https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/5e07407b600aaae38a7ed757a0008bc70cca7a712868812202189f28@%3Ccommits.activemq.apache.org%3E shows a couple of issues: - All of the links for 2.5.0 and 2.6.0 were broken except for the release notes and commit report links. The main links pointed to the wrong download server/area, with the tar/zip links also having query args left from the mirror system. The doc links pointed to the central docs page rather than the actual docs for the release. - The 1.5.6 release entry had links pointing to .sha1 files that dont exist. Those were presumably just missed in updating the links from 1.5.5, which did have .sha1 checksums. I updated those to link to the .sha512 files from the current distribution policy. The typo you mention below was trivial so I didnt call it out in the mail but adjusted that in this commit: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3d6c90c59e30d65013a0f5bc7243434edb8eb817ffd2272b3be341de@%3Ccommits.activemq.apache.org%3E A final change is mostly just reducing indent, as I removed the wrapper divs (presumably also copied from download.html) for the latest entries since the earlier ones dont have those and they all live within an outer wrapper div already: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/641671780a10b81419711805519e7a8643688be53705c844ab7520de@%3Ccommits.activemq.apache.org%3E On 19 June 2018 at 15:59, Clebert Suconic <clebert.suco...@gmail.com> wrote: > I will be more careful... although.. beyond a typo on the > description.. of 2.6.0 in one of the downloads..
