> a) using a redirect we have under our control, instead of a hard link to some repository (the redirect could easily be changed from gitbox to github, or to hard-coded value, to fix all the builds at once) This would probably be a good idea. We can add a redirect similar to the update centres, etc. in https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/blob/master/netbeans.apache.org/src/content/.htaccess If someone wants to add this, please don't put under `/nb/` path. > b) make the build not fail when the URL is not available (would make a "dev" build, but since the official bundles include(?) the json, this shouldn't be a problem??) As added on list, as well as using a local file url for the setting, you can copy `netbeansrelease.json` into `nbbuild/`. This will stop the download requirement (feature used for source releases and offline use). Then up to you to keep it up to date though. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
