[Andreas Beeker <ki...@apache.org>]

Annouce is always open for surprises ... we have the same structure of the pages for quite a while and every 2nd release they complain.

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
announce@apache.org mailing list.

I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at announce-owner@apache.org.

I'm sorry, your message (enclosed) was not accepted by the moderator.
If the moderator has made any comments, they are shown below.

Sorry, but the announce mail is not acceptable.
The KEYS file must only be referenced from
https://downloads.apache.org/poi/KEYS
(or the older https://www.apache.org/dist/poi/KEYS which redirects there)

Also the download page must not link to nightly builds.
Such builds may only be advertised on pages intended for developers, not
the general public.

Please fix the download page and submit a corrected announce email.

Thanks
Sebb.

Hi -

The Keys file is referenced in two places.

Once in the verification section where it has the older link.
The second time under archives where it points to the archive. That can be fixed since the dist/downloads location is automatically copied to archives.a.o.

Regarding the nightly build Sebb is pretty strict. I think that this has loosened some. To change it we should not make the nightly so prominent on the download page. Move below the archive section, and make it clear that these are for developers and are not releases and there is no guarantee about the suitability of use.

Regards,
Dave
