Hi Brian, and thanks for your feedback. I'll try to explain better: afaik, the ../dist/java-repository/ is special - in addition to regular mirroring, it is rsynced every 4 hours to the Apache Maven Repository at ibiblio: http://ibiblio.org/maven/xalan/jars/ For those of us who use Maven as the build tool for our projects, Maven automatically downloads all needed jars from this repository. (The Maven repository includes LGPLed software, that is why it is not hosted by ASF, but ASF projects can make sure their releases are available through Maven by putting the jar in java-repository. Non-ASF-projects has a more cumbersome process for uploading their jars to ibiblio.) This is, i believe, the reason why the jar must be published two places on the server. regards, -j�rgen Note: I haven't found too much documentation about this, but the following pointers may be of help: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02445.html You may also note step 12 in the Commons release notes: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/release.html And step 1 and 2 of this article is helpful: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.repository/207 It seems to me that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is in charge of this: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.repository > Put 2.6.0-jar in dist/java-repository/xalan/jars > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: XALANJ-2017 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2017 > Project: XalanJ2 > Type: Task > Versions: 2.6 > Reporter: J�rgen Binningsb� > > The latest release of Xalan-J is not available in the java-repository at: > http://www.apache.org/dist/java-repository/xalan/jars/ > and therefore it is, afaik, also not sync'ed to > http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/xalan/jars/. > Thus the latest release is not available to software projects built with > Maven. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
