(Bcc'd to all Jakarta dev lists)
Partly an announcement that the Jakarta download pages have been changed somewhat. Rather than one huge page, it's a whole set of pages. So when time comes to do your next release, you modify site/downloads/downloads.xml and run ant.
Source, binary and nightly-builds are all part of the same page.
More importantly, a suggestion that projects should no longer link to the top download page, but instead link to their particular download page.
So POI would link to:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_poi.cgi
Commons would link to:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons.html
Commons IO would link to:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons-io.cgi
and so on.
The new pages should be exact matches to the previous binindex and sourceindex pages. One requested improvement is for filenames to be specified rather than '1.0.zip'. Hopefully we can make that change globally by figuring out the xslt to get the filename from a url.
Another improvement is to add the cvs.apache.org/snapshot/velocity, and any other live snapshots as Nightly Builds.
Apologies for the cross-list posting, wanted to make sure everybody got the memo about changing the download links if they want. :) Please direct replies back to the general list.
