I put in a request, as part of our graduation process, to have our
"dist" area moved to a top level.

The issue is requesting a move to http://www.apache.org/dist/ooo, but
shouldn't this better be named */openoffice (or */aoo)?

Herbert -- see comments by Henk on the ticket. It does appear that
/dist/openoffice will be the new top-level name for our *next* release
-- nothing will be moved now. Perhaps this was already communicated to
infra and I was not aware of it.
Also, of more immediate concern is the archiving of the 3.4.0 source
release and possibly the 3.3. patch.
All of this is driven by the nature of /dist/, how it is mirrored outside
Apache, and the pretty substantial resources taken up by our release.
There are consequences to moving something once it is there - some mirrors
might end up with both areas mirrored, for example.
The best way to resolve that (in the opinion of infra - AIUI) is to move the
location on our next release, this allows for planing of resources and the
notification of the mirror network. It seems a reasonable approach to me.
This is the direction the comments are going in Kay's issue.
Since the 3.4.1 Language packs are supplements to the 3.4.1 source release and
will have incubator branding they will go into the incubator/ooo/ location.
Some might think that we should be doing a full 3.4.2 with non-incubator
branding, but no real need IMO.
What does it mean for our upcoming respin of AOO 3.4.1? Taking the
discussion into account I plan to do the following.
1. copy the new src release ("") to
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/3.4.1/source besides the former 3.4.1
src release. Please notice that the name includes now a revision number.
Ah, thanks for the reminder.
2. copy the the new binaries besides the existing ones under
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/stable/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/ast/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/da/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/eu/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/gd/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/pl/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/ko/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/nb/3.4.1
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/localized/sv/3.4.1
OK
With the next release AOO 4.0 we will have a new name without
"incubating" and I plan to reorganize the directory structure to
simplify it. I know we had a discussion about it in the past and I will
continue there or will start a new thread on this topic separately. I
would like to plan this asap to be prepared and to have enough time to
adapt the download scripts etc.
Please have a look here to see the work that was done already:

It should be possible to go on from here.
