We are not deleting any archives. Keeping the dist area tidy with only current releases means that this huge ASF-wide content is mirrored efficiently. Also, we don't mirror archive.a.o via that dist system. I just had a look at Tika download page. It does as i suggested earlier: They link to archive.apache.org/dist/tika/ for old releases and to archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/tika/ for the older incubator releases. -David > 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. > > Cheers, > Chris > > 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.
