www... is the location for the latest releases. It should contain the latest release and the latest stable release (these may be the same release) for each release branch. Older releases should be cleaned out with each new release. For example, with the recent commons-pool release only commons-pool-1.5 should be available via www. If pool-2.0 was the next pool release, 1,5 and 2.0 would sit side-by-side on www. archive... is generated automatically from www and contains every release ever made. It should not be modified. Again, using commons-pool as an example, every pool release should be on archive. > I noticed that Debian packages for the Commons components are build > either from one server or from the other, and I wonder witch server is > the "right" one. Generally, folks should be using the mirrors and just getting the signatures from us. If people want sigs for older releases, archive is better.
