Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-5631:
----------------------------------
I'm not really understanidng this issue.
In the right nav of the site, are links that are very explicitly about
downloading the *latest* release. These load pages that do an auto-redirect,
but as a convenience also include some static text for people that might not
use javascript.
This doesn't change the fact that we *also* already have a main "Download" page
that also links to those download redirectors, and has details about archived
releases...
https://lucene.apache.org/core/downloads.html
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/downloads.html
Both of these links are prominent in the top nav of the main pages for
Lucene-Core & Solr, just to the right of the "news" tabs...
https://lucene.apache.org/core/
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/
> Improve access to archived versions of Lucene and Solr

> Key: LUCENE-5631
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5631
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: general/website
> Reporter: Shawn Heisey
>
> When visiting the website to download Lucene or Solr, it is very difficult
> for people to locate where to download previous versions. The archive link
> does show up when you click the download link, but the page where it lives is
> replaced in less than a second by the CGI for picking a download mirror for
> the current release. There's nothing there for previous versions.
> At a minimum, we need a link to the download archive that's right below the
> main Download link. Something else I think we should do (which might
> actually be an INFRA issue, as this problem exists for other projects too)
> would be to have the "closer.cgi" page include a link to the archives.
