mirroring our downloads
It's been pointed out to me that we still don't use the mirror system
for our downloads. We need to fix this ASAP.

I'm looking at that now if someone hasn't beaten me to it overnight.

Ok - I updated the webpage to use dyncloser and tested. Seems to
work just fine, although we need more time for broad mirroring.
Things are checked in, and I'll wait a few more hours before deploying.
Thanks all.

Done - originals are in archive.apache.org <http://archive.apache.org> and
~brett/geronimo-poms and ~/geronimo-spec-poms (some of these had older
releases that were also invalid).
Thanks!

IMO, delete away - M2 and M3 are so old now they are not really relevant
and should be removed.

Does anyone mind if I do this? Other than redeploying those releases using a
newer version of the artifact plugin that resolves the entities and parent
poms, I don't see an easy way to get these corrected.

For the old releases, once they appear in
archive.apache.org<http://archive.apache.org>,
you can probably delete them from www.apache.org
<http://www.apache.org>(this will mean they aren't mirrored, but
available from the archive).
Can I ask that you delete the M2 and M3 POMs from java-repository? They
aren't independantly valid or useful and Maven's repository management has
started to squawk. Recent versions of the Maven artifact deployment plugin
will properly resolve the variables in them to make them useful for future
releases.

The simplest thing is to use dyncloser.cgi for the links:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/geronimo/1.0-M4/geronimo-1.0-M4.tar.gz
That gives you a separate page to select from. The dropdowns mean using a
customised CGI, I believe - but I've never tried it.

Great. A very long time we talked about doing this but there was
pushback as it was against policy to ship non-final releases from /
www/www.apache.org/dist/, which is mirrored. So we put them on /www/
cvs.apache.org/dist/ instead.
I've moved over all our milestones to www/www.apache.org/dist/ and
www/www.apache.org/dist/java-repository. I assume those will be
mirrored to Ibiblio and other places by tonight. How do we go about
getting one of those fancy "pick a mirror" selection boxes on our
download page?
