Hi,
Are we talking about the catalog xml file here? There's no need to host
it on the website. A simple .htaccess file can redirect it to the mirror
system (or elsewhere).
For a (live) example see [1], that redirects
http://netbeans.apache.org/updates/8.2/uc/final/certified/catalog.xml.gz
to the old website without hosting the xml file itself.
Also note that we may want to start a new subdomain (updates.apache.org)
as a new directory in
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-website, and have that keep
the .htaccess file(s).
Cheers,
Antonio

not? That will start to make it a barrier to contribute if so. Are we
talking about uploading separate from the git repo to the hosted site?
How do you figure that? I'm only talking about one XML file.
It really depends on release strategy I suppose. The 8.2 file was 1.24MB.
There was a different one for 8.1. Maybe if we have rolling updates for a
longer timeframe it won't create multiple files per year.
Small compared to some things, but if stuff that ages faster like that, and
if separate paths, seems like it would bulk up the site repo over time for
no extra value after a period; 9.0 versus 9.3.
Maybe we could have an updates repository that holds that stuff separately
with some kind of redirects like what happens with updates.netbeans.org
now, which has a similar auto build as main site.
Just thinking about how long it takes to clone the repo as it is just to
add/update docs (especially for newbies). Maybe we do it for now, and later
think about how we can better split up the site repo to allow quicker
cloning and editing. Feels like it should be more nimble than the IDE
repository.
Thanks
Wade
