This page was last touched in 2018 and still carries the ASF **mirror-selection form**. The mirror network was retired in favour of a single CDN, so that form currently renders a "choose a mirror" dropdown offering exactly **one** entry, `dlcdn.apache.org`. The checksum, signature and KEYS links still point at `www.apache.org/dist`, which has been a **301 to `downloads.apache.org`** for years. This finishes, for this repository, the "Refresh download page" sweep started in 2023 that stopped part-way through the estate. About 43 repositories are already on this exact form. - artifact from `dlcdn.apache.org` — note the current page has **no usable artifact href at all** in the static HTML, only the `[preferred]` placeholder, which resolves solely when served through `mirrors.cgi` - `.sha512` / `.asc` / `KEYS` from `downloads.apache.org` - older releases from `archive.apache.org`, over https ### Two removals worth your attention 1. **In-page anchors.** `#mirror` and the version-numbered subsection anchor go away with the mirror section; the latter becomes the stable `#Files`. In-page only — no URL changes. You cannot delete the section and keep its anchor meaningfully. 2. **The `/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html` paragraph.** That page is still live, but it is advice about configuring a *repository* mirror in `settings.xml`, not about downloading a source release, and **none** of the repositories already on the current form carry it. Dropping it is what converges this page with the rest of the estate — but say so on this PR if you would rather keep it here. `download.cgi` is **left in place**: it is the canonical download URL for every component (`download.html` 301-redirects into it via a site-wide rule in `apache/maven-site`'s `.htaccess`), so removing it would 404 the download page. The ASF licence header is left byte-for-byte as it was. ### Verification Generated from a single canonical template that reproduces the existing form exactly; XML well-formedness checked, and a link-set audit run across all repositories in this sweep to confirm nothing is lost beyond the mirror-system leftovers listed above. Representative repositories were rendered before and after with a real site build. **This specific repository was not individually rendered** — flagging that rather than implying otherwise. Draft until CI is green. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
