AW: Stable link to apache-ant-*-bin.tar.xz?

[jhm]

There are two main pages for releases:
* https://www.apache.org/dist/: actual releases
* http://archive.apache.org/dist/: all releases
The release policy [1] of the ASF enforces to have only the newest versions on 
the first.
This is the primary directory for mirrors. Usually users are interested in the 
newest version.

In your case you should link to the 2nd URL as this is permanent.

Stable link to apache-ant-*-bin.tar.xz?

[Stephan Bergmann]

 
is a flatpak-manifest (for building LibreOffice as a Flatpak) that needs 
Ant during the build and thus downloads it from 
, 
as it was available a while ago from 
.


However, I now found out that that URL is 404 by now, and there's a new 
 
instead.  So I'd need to adapt that org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.json 
flatpak-manifest now, and would likely need to do so periodically in the 
future, whenever a new Ant release replaces the previous one.


Is there a better URL I could use for my purposes (that might also be 
more mirror-friendly)?  I'm not interested in a specific 1.10.1 version, 
assuming that any recent or future 1.y.z version would do; but I do need 
a matching SHA to be recorded in the flatpak-manifest, so am bound to a 
URL for a specific version in practice.
