Right now I have the DL friendly script setup to only use SF...which is
setup in the "old" way. I don't think we'll be usign Apache for pre-build
client downloads.
So, I have a question -- who will be setting up the SF packs and will
they
just stick with the current structure on that system for DLs --
i.e.
<root>/files/stable/<version>/
<pack name>
and
<root>/files/localized/<language>/<version>/<pack name>
I'm hoping the answer is "YES".
Whatever we do, let's try to get a directory schem that works now and
for AOO 3.4.1 and AOO 3.5 and for AOO 4.0, etc.. �This is not
something where it will be easier to clean up later.
Honestly spoken, I don't know if this will work.
Of course it could be easy and fast to think about a directory structure
that will work also for a AOO 5.0 release.
However, I doubt that we will have the time to make the DL logic work this
way, too.
As I've no idea how close we are from the first public download of AOO 3.4 I
wouldn't do bigger changes now.
Thinking ahead, what do we do when we have a new release, like a
3.4.1? �And what can we do now to make that future less painful?
The DL logic for 3.4.1 can be the same as for 3.4.0. There shouldn't be big
changes. For further releases see above.
Juergen is already OK to setup the structure like it was in the old project,
so that the need changes to the DL logic is minimal.
It seems the easiest way to go to me too.
Roberto
OK, I need some clarification here -- again.
I am to understand by the above statements by Marcus and Roberto that
the directory structure for 3.4 will be the same as it is for 3.3, but....
we will have a *different* structure on www.apache.org/dist? Also, OK,
we just need some awareness.
So -- can someone tell me what's what here.
I am currently also confused. I would still prefer my proposed structure
in the beginning of this thread if it is possible.
That would allow us to easy add further platforms and keep the bits a
little bit separated. Think about 100 languages and 5 files (including
the checksum files) for each downloadable file.
And it will work for future releases as well.
I have agreed to use the same structure as for 3.3 but I also have said
that I skip the version in the localized folder because we already have
it in the path. No direct feedback on this and I took it as common
consensus.
But now I am confused. We should clarify the structure before I will
start the upload tomorrow.
I haven't looked in the details behind the download scripts and don't
know how much work it is to adapt them to a new directory structure.
That means I will use the structure that will work for now.
Juergen
I CAN change the friendly scripts to go with the NEW (Apache) structure.
In fact I'm going to work on THAT approach today (along with Rob's
changes) and hopefully we'll be set for either instance.
To setup a new structure that makes maybe more sense can be done later for a
release after 3.4.x.
