Now updated again to point to the archived versions, as part of archiving NetBeans 16. All seems to still be working correctly .. for anyone who has a drastic need to run 16 again! :-) Let me know if you see any problems.

I have not felt myself alone in this release, thank you for guiding me through! It seems we've evolved quite much, since my days. So far: - Created a "16-u1" tag in Git - Moved the 16-u1 folder into the release area in subversion. Sounds good. Next, I'd do the following: - do a subversion copy on ^/release/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms as ^/release/netbeans/netbeans/16/nbms/16-u1 No need for that. Just keep everything where it is. We don't want duplicate binaries in the releases section, and keeping things clearly separated is better (in some ways) for managing. - Prepare a manually patched updates.xml (the gz as well) on the NetBeans VM adding the new location of the two patched modules. - Wait a day for the mirrors to be sync-ed No need for that - no mirrors to sync anymore! There is instead a download CDN service - dlcdn.a.o If you check the .htaccess file on the VM, you'll notice we no longer link to closer.lua but directly to dlcdn. The main download pages still use closer.cgi, but you should see the link come up as dlcdn in most cases - eg. https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/netbeans/netbeans/16/netbeans-16-bin.zip So, to make this easier, please hardcode the links in updates.xml to https://dlcdn.apache.org/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms/extide/org-netbeans-modules-gradle.nbm https://dlcdn.apache.org/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms/java/org-netbeans-modules-gradle-java.nbm Could do with a better system for this, as we'll need to update the links again when we archive. Perhaps using alternative relative links and .htaccess. I realise your suggestion to copy under 16/nbms/ might help there, but other downsides to that. - Activate the patched update.xml on NetBeans VM (Keeping a backup version) Yes, please keep a backup in place. Also make sure the owner / permissions ensure it's not served. Well, I left the owner as www-data:www-data, the .htaccess takes care that only updates.xml* is served. Created files updates-16.xml and updates-16-u1.xml (and gz and sha512 in the same pattern). updates.xml and others have been replaced with symlinks pointing to the 16-u1 versions. It seems to be working, so people will start to receive these updates on the next update center check. I'm sending out announcements soon. Once again, Thank you Neil!

[DISCUSSION] Apache NetBeans 16-u1 Finalization Steps
Dear Release Team, I've started the finalization steps for Apache NetBeans 16-u1 release. So far: - Created a "16-u1" tag in Git - Moved the 16-u1 folder into the release area in subversion. Next, I'd do the following: - do a subversion copy on ^/release/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms as ^/release/netbeans/netbeans/16/nbms/16-u1 - Prepare a manually patched updates.xml (the gz as well) on the NetBeans VM adding the new location of the two patched modules. - Wait a day for the mirrors to be sync-ed - Activate the patched update.xml on NetBeans VM (Keeping a backup version) Would that be aligned with you? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
