Hey Jan, Yeah I guess the motivation to me is not just for people to know that they exist, but in general to follow Apache release policy in terms of making releases immutable, in a persistent location, and so forth.
What do others think? I don’t feel strongly either way. I’m happy to copy the releases to Tika, but others should chime in here especially Tika PMC.

So no pressing “need”, just general housekeeping. Both Hadoop and Mahout projects have copied over all releases to their respective release folders and lucene/hadoop folder is completely gone from the mirros, although it still remains in the archive. For Tika, I see that you link to the lucene archives so people will actually know that these releases exist :) Worse so for Nutch that have neither a complete archive themselves nor link to the lucene archives. I can see the argument that there may still be some automated scripts pulling down 0.7 somewhere. Do we have download stats per file available somewhere? -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com > 16. feb. 2017 kl. 00.30 skrev Chris Mattmann <[email protected]>: > > Hi Jan, > > Thanks for the message, but frankly I don’t think we should do this.
