Thanks for leading this through, and sorry for being personally incommunicado and not getting around to voting - I would love to claim excessive merriment, but mainly just laid low by a virus. :-\ > > So far: > > - Created a "16-u1" tag in Git > - Moved the 16-u1 folder into the release area in subversion.

Just keep everything where it is. We don't want duplicate binaries in the releases section, and keeping things clearly separated is better (in some ways) for managing. > - Prepare a manually patched updates.xml (the gz as well) on the > NetBeans VM adding the new location of the two patched modules. > - Wait a day for the mirrors to be sync-ed No need for that - no mirrors to sync anymore! There is instead a download CDN service - dlcdn.a.o If you check the .htaccess file on the VM, you'll notice we no longer link to closer.lua but directly to dlcdn. The main download pages still use closer.cgi, but you should see the link come up as dlcdn in most cases - eg. https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/netbeans/netbeans/16/netbeans-16-bin.zip So, to make this easier, please hardcode the links in updates.xml to https://dlcdn.apache.org/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms/extide/org-netbeans-modules-gradle.nbm https://dlcdn.apache.org/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms/java/org-netbeans-modules-gradle-java.nbm Could do with a better system for this, as we'll need to update the links again when we archive. Perhaps using alternative relative links and .htaccess. I realise your suggestion to copy under 16/nbms/ might help there, but other downsides to that. > - Activate the patched update.xml on NetBeans VM (Keeping a backup > version) Yes, please keep a backup in place. Also make sure the owner / permissions ensure it's not served. And please use [RELEASES] in the email subject - helps anyone doing subject filtering.
