Hmmm... I think I have missed to inform you about how releases are handled. I have not been a release manager myself since 2004, so I am a bit rusty on the subject. In essence, the ASF doesn't have enough bandwidth to serve all the downloads from the public, so we depend on other companies to be 'mirrors', and for that to work there are both a special "download page" script as well as dedicated locations where the artifacts must be stored. Here are some pages with a lot of information; http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html http://www.apache.org/dev/release-download-pages.html [1] http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html http://commons.apache.org/releases/ http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html (still under dev) also see example from other podling; http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/release-management.html Please note that when they speak of "www.apache.org/dist/incubator/etch", the actual location is; Server; people.apache.org Directory; /x1/www/incubator.apache.org/etch [1] This document describes how you create a Download page for stuff stored in /dist and served by mirrors.
