Re: [mirror-lums] OpenOffice.org to Apache OpenOffice mirror system migration
Hello,
We at the Cybernet-LUMS mirror (mirror-cybernet.lums.edu.pk) have been
mirroring both the projects (Apache and OpenOffice.org) for about 2
years now. Considering this, this transition should not have any
substantial changes in bandwidth/storage usage etc. on our side. But
we have two questions:
1) Will the openoffice.org download servers completely shutdown (and
as result do we have "remove" openoffice.org as a separate project)?
2) What will be the fate of versions that were released before the migration?

More like it will fade away over time. There are no plans to conduct
any more release distributions over the old mirrorbrain network.

They are currently hosted by apache at archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo
