a few days ago a user uploaded to the wiki a zip file which contains
a jackrabbit installer for jboss. Personally, for lots of reasons, I
think it's a bad idea to distribute binaries through the wiki and I
think the asf has well defined procedures for releasing. I invited the
author to contribute the script to generate the installer but didn't
get a response.
I think it should be removed, however I don't want to remove a user
contribution without knowing the wiki policy and others opinions. So,
wdyt? should we remove the zip file from the wiki?
You are right. We can link to someone else's website that contains
a page about their own installer, but we can't distribute a binary
that someone else created from our own website. It needs to be
removed.
BTW, I don't recall seeing any notification for that upload.
Did we get one and I just missed it, or is the wiki software
letting people upload files without sending a notification?
