Please correct me if im wrong. Shindig seems to have 1.0.1 and 2.0.0 releases, so i guess we are ok. Or should we be removing 1.0.1 as 2.0.0 is quite stable ?
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Thomas <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 1:46 PM Subject: [ACTION REQUIRED] www.apache.org/dist/<tlp> housekeeping To: [email protected] PMC members, As the ASF grows in size, so does the total size of the distribution artefacts we ask our mirror community to support for us. The larger this total size, the greater the strain on both ASF infrastructure and on the mirroring system. As per the release guidelines [1], only current releases should be available at http://www.apache.org/dist/. Monitoring of http://www.apache.org/dist/ [2] shows that some projects are not removing old releases. This is placing an unnecessary strain on both ASF infrastructure and on our mirror volunteers. Thanks to those PMCs that have been removing old releases from their distribution directory. The infrastructure appreciates you keeping on top of this. PMCs that have not been removing old releases are required to review their current distribution directory and remove any old releases. - PMCs using svnpubsub should remove old releases via svn. - PMCs not using svnpubsub should remove old releases directly from /www/www.apache.org/dist/<tlp> on people.apache.org at. Note that any deletions may take up to 24 hours to replicate to http://www.apache.org/dist In both cases it may take longer for changes to replicate to mirrors. Old releases removed from http://www.apache.org/dist/ are not lost. Release are automatically copied to http://archive.apache.org/dist/ and are never deleted. This inevitably raises the question what is a current release and what is an old release. To some extent, this varies from project to project but typically it amounts to the following: a) latest release of the current branch b) latest stable release of the current branch c) latest stable release of previous branches It is hard to give concrete examples that apply to all projects since each project is free to use its own release numbering scheme. However, a project that includes versions 2.1.0, 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 in its release directory almost certainly has some cleaning up to do. A project that includes 1.0.6, 1.1.5 and 2.0.7 probably doesn't. If you have any questions about how to manage your distribution directory please contact the infrastructure team. Thanks in advance, Mark on behalf of the ASF Infrastructure Team [1] http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html [2] http://people.apache.org/~henkp/tlps/
