That's a bit too soon. The new release needs to have a chance to propagate to the mirrors before the previous release is dropped. Best to drop the old release(s) just after the new release is announced - which in turn needs to be done a day or so after the new release is published. > Oleg > > >> As can be seen, there are quite a few old releases. >> (Obviously one needs to remove more than just the src.zip!) >> >> $ svn ls -R https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/httpcomponents >> > grep 'src\.zip$' >> >> commons-httpclient/source/commons-httpclient-3.1-src.zip >> httpasyncclient/source/httpcomponents-asyncclient-4.0.1-src.zip >> httpasyncclient/source/httpcomponents-asyncclient-4.1-src.zip >> httpasyncclient/source/httpcomponents-asyncclient-4.1.1-src.zip >> httpasyncclient/source/httpcomponents-asyncclient-4.1.2-src.zip >> httpasyncclient/source/httpcomponents-asyncclient-4.1.3-src.zip >> httpclient/source/httpcomponents-client-4.5-src.zip >> httpclient/source/httpcomponents-client-4.5.1-src.zip >> httpclient/source/httpcomponents-client-4.5.2-src.zip >> httpclient/source/httpcomponents-client-4.5.3-src.zip >> httpclient/source/httpcomponents-client-5.0-alpha1-src.zip >> httpclient/source/httpcomponents-client-5.0-alpha2-src.zip >> httpclient-android/source/httpcomponents-client-android-4.3.5.1- >> src.zip >> httpcore/source/httpcomponents-core-4.4.5-src.zip >> httpcore/source/httpcomponents-core-4.4.6-src.zip >> httpcore/source/httpcomponents-core-4.4.7-src.zip >> httpcore/source/httpcomponents-core-5.0-alpha3-src.zip >> httpcore/source/httpcomponents-core-5.0-alpha4-src.zip >> >> >> >> On 24 September 2017 at 22:39, Gary Gregory <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > I think I will delete some old ones then when I get home.
