[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6490) Please delete old releases from mirroring system

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6490?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14599517#comment-14599517 ] 

Sebb commented on CASSANDRA-6490:
---------------------------------

The recommended way to do this is as follows:

Following a successful release vote:
- publish the release artifacts (add to dist/release/cassandra)
- publish Maven artifacts via Nexus (if relevant)
- wait a day for mirrors to catch up (most will do so in less than a day)
- update the website download page to point to the new releases; older releases links should point to the archive server (this is published immediately)
- send the announce message
- a few days later, delete the older releases from dist/release/cassandra

That should not result in any 404s.

> To reduce the load on the ASF mirrors, projects are required to delete old releases [1]
> Please can you remove all non-current releases?
> Thanks!
> [Note that older releases are always available from the ASF archive server]
> Any links to older releases on download pages should first be adjusted to point to the archive server.
