The JMeter dist directory on minotaur [1] is now using svnpubsub. It's no longer possible to manually copy files into the dist/jmeter directory on minotaur (people) because the directory is owned by svnpubsub.
Any new releases now need to be published by checking files into the live svnpubsub repo at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/jmeter/ [This currently contains JMeter 2.8 as that is the current release.] However, as before a release should only be done following a vote on an RC. The recommended way to do this is to upload the RC files to the dev svnpubsub repo at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/jmeter/ [This is currently empty, as there are no votes in progress.] The new process is as follows: Create the release as before. Instead of uploading to a personal directory on people, use ant RC_upload -DRC=RCn -DrepoType=live Run the vote as usual, using the dev repo as the archive staging directory. On a successful vote, publish the archives using ant RC_publish -DRC=RCn -DrepoType=live At a later stage, delete the old archives from the live repo: ant release_delete -Djmeter.old.version=2.7 -DrepoType=live Hope that's all clear - I guess we'll find out when we do the next release!
