Current public releases: http://www.apache.org/dist/ Releases that are intended for current public download should be placed on www.apache.org. This is the main public release site and the site that is mirrored world-wide. [minotaur.apache.org:/www/www.apache.org/dist/] So if we only want the latest release there, that's fine, but we'll need to put up a link to the http://archive.apache.org/dist/spamassassin/ site for older releases. > However, I think I agree -- leaving the old versions there for > a short while makes more sense.

I'd rather use the update parameter then risk people getting really confused with "-current". We already need to push out a new download page with the latest version on it, so it's not a big deal to update the parameter. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: We're a hospital of people helping each other, performing random acts of beauty for each other, even when no one is watching but God. -- Larry Wall, 8th State of the Onion
