Hi Les,

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
This is the preferred approach. Publishing releases directly from
Apache's site is marginally ok for incubating releases but TLP
releases really should allow mirrors.
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?
closer.cgi
Why does the ASF have two distribution mechanisms?
You are kidding, right? There are at least two ways to do everything
at ASF...
Craig
Thanks,
Les

Hi Alan,
Can we have download links to maven.org to obtain artifacts from

I'm not sure I understand the question. You don't need links to
download maven artifacts; you just need to have a maven repo that
is willing to serve the artifacts that are specified by the pom
dependency. Since maven central publishes these artifacts,
(correct me if I misunderstand) I don't see the need to have a
separate download location specified.
Sorry, I was under the impression that we always had to use the ASF
mirror system setup by infra. I guess not.

Alan

That was just there for convenience to reflect the same maven
location
along side them in that table. They're not considered release
artifacts (only the source code distribution is considered an
official
release artifact), so I didn't see any conflict with our mandate
that
ASF releases must come from ASF infrastructure.
I'm quite happy to change it though, but to where should we point
the
links? Currently the only place that I know where they exist is in
the ASF's own Nexus repo, and IIRC, the infra team does not wish
that
to be used as a distribution point.

Sweet!

does that as well?

Hi team,
In preparation for our upcoming Apache top-level project
graduation
and our 1.1 release, I finally got around to updating the
website.
After fighting many hours with confluence to play nicely with
the new
site template, the site has been updated with the Apache Shiro
logo
contest winner [1] and and associated theme. I've tested it
in the
latest versions of the major 4 browsers, IE 8, Opera 10.62,
Firefox
3.6 and Chrome 6, so things should work nicely for the majority
of our
visitors.
Two notes of thanks: to the Cassandra team for writing the
'download'
box on the upper-right corner of the home page that we graciously
borrowed, and to the Apache Directory team for one of their CSS
files
that I used to support Confluence styling (code boxes, note/
warn/tip
panels, etc). Everything else can solely be blamed on me.
Please check it out:

Cheers,
Les
