Yes, that's what it should do for non-current releases. > In my mind, it's perfectly acceptable to keep releases that are made in > Incubator ville on the Incubator dist page -- that's not just a requirement > for active Incubator projects, it should be true even when they graduate. The dist area should be for the current version(s) only. Once a new release has been out a short while, any superseded releases should be deleted from dist. The download page can point to archives.a.o for individual older releases, or can just contain a generic link to archive.a.o. > Cheers, > Chris > > On Mar 2, 2011, at 4:34 PM, David Crossley wrote: > >> Les Hazlewood wrote: >>> >>> For Shiro (which is now a TLP), I just moved the artifacts out of >>> /www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/shiro and then deleted the shiro >>> directory. >> >> Remember that stuff is automatically copied to archives: >> http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/shiro/ >> http://archive.apache.org/dist/shiro/ >> >> The docs do explain that, but perhaps need enhancement. >> >> So for example at Forrest, our download page and the fronts-piece >> of our dist mirrors, refers to our archives.
