I just discovered a problem with the vcl-install.sh and vcl-upgrade.sh scripts 
bundled with 2.4.2.  When we decided to move to putting all release files 
under a directory named after the version number when placing files at 
www.apache.org/dist/vcl, I didn't get the scripts updated to include the 
version number in the path from which they download the archive and signatures 
(i.e. they are downloading from /dist/vcl instead of /dist/vcl/2.4.2).  We 
have 2 options for fixing this:

1) release 2.4.3 with the paths included
2) copy the files that are under www.apache.org/dist/vcl/2.4.2 to 
www.apache.org/dist/vcl

I'd prefer not to do yet another release (option 1).

Regarding options 2, we decided to put all of the files under a version number 
because vcl-install.sh and vcl-upgrade.sh don't have version numbers in the 
filenames, and would thus keep getting updated in the /dist/vcl directory with 
each release, which could trigger an attack alert since the files would be 
modified.

I think we'd be safe to copy all of the files from /dist/vcl/2.4.2 to 
/dist/vcl for one release.  Since vcl-install.sh and vcl-upgrade.sh are not 
currently in /dist/vcl, I don't think we'll trigger any alerts.  Then, for the 
next release, we'd have things fixed to be downloading from the correct URLs.

Thoughts?
