Subject: Re: How to handle the downloads?
Thanks for you note. Then we should implement adownload method
withthe fllowing order:
1. User clicks on the One-Click-Download URL and get the software
(like today on "download.openoffice.org").
2. If not, he can use alternative download links (like today on
"download.openoffice.org/pther.html").
3. If a special mirror has to be used, the list of all available
mirrors
will help
(like today on
"http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors";).
Latest with step 3 all users should be able to download something.
Yep, all possible here at the ASF right now.
See www.apache.org/mirrors for our equiv of step 3.
I've already understood that you don't want the OOo mirrors but that
we should use the Apache ones. ;-)
Hi Marcus,
don't count me as 100% on that yet, I want to know more about the OOo
mirrors too.
OK, if you have already questions just ask and I will try to give answers.
not yet, working on it,
I just didn't want to be maintaining 150+ projects on one mirror
system and
1 project
on another mirror system. maintaining one mirror system is easier, so
If that is possible and our mirroring system can cope, and we can
maybe coax a few more mirrors our way all the better. Some of our
existing mirrors may decide that bandwidth is too much and leave, so
we need replacements.
I don't know about bandwidth but to get an impression about size and
amount please have a look here. This mirror has rsync'ed everything that
was
released by Sun and Oracle:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/openoffice/
thanks,
If it makes sense to try and merge these somehow, I want to pursue
that avenue.
A first step should be to look for doubles.
yep,
We may need both for some time, we can not put non ASF releases on our
mirroring system anyway so what we are trying to resolve is from our
first ASF release onwards.
Hm, when looking at this mirror it is already hosting non-Apache software:
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/
Software from Apache and, e.g., OpenOffice.org is just a subset within
many
other projects.
Sorry, that isn't what I meant. The mirrors get their content from us right,
we can not
provide them with non-asf released software to put on their mirror copy of
our
dist tree [1] . They are of course welcome to provide non-asf mirrors as
most of them already do.
[1] - http://apache.org/dist/
Gav...
OK, let me try again. The mirrors can distribute what ever they want but
within the Apache subdirs only ASF licensed software is allowed. Have a
got it right now?

A consideration...I for one have a need to be able to select my
mirror. My office's firewall blocks certain domains and websites,
especially those recognized as "hosting" or "file-sharing" sites.
It does not, however, block .edu sites, so when I download an
Apache product I select a university mirror.
Other users may have similar constraints. If OOo's download
process is going to tie into Apache mirroring, please don't
completely eliminate the capacity to select the mirror.
