My understanding is that you must use the infra system for ASF releases. The links to .jar files along side the maven snippets do not represent ASF releases - they're only there as a convenience.
I do have a question though. When looking at Cassandra's download stuff this weekend, I noticed that you are directed to mirror page: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/cassandra/0.6.5/apache-cassandra-0.6.5-bin.tar.gz Currently Shiro's release comes from http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/shiro/shiro-root-1.0.0-incubating-source-release.zip That is, we're not using the closer.cgi script. What is preferred? Why does the ASF have two distribution mechanisms? Thanks, Les On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 6:18 PM, Alan D.
