Hi all,

So we uploaded the platform 9.0-alpha binaries to https://dist.apache.org [1]

As a consequence the artifacts are now available through the Apache mirror network.

The URL to download these artifacts can be constructed using the https://www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi script, setting the parameters "action=download" and "filename=..." as in [2].

This "mirrors.cgi" script automatically selects the user's closest Apache mirror to download from. That's handy.

Would it be possible to generate our update center xml & nbms and upload that to https://dist.apache.org along with the binary and source artifacts?

That way we could use the same "mirrors.cgi" script as an Update Center url, and users would benefit from the Apache mirror network to download stuff more easily.

Would that be a viable solution for NetBeans-330 "NetBeans 9.0 UC hosted on Apache infra" [3]?

Thanks,
Antonio
