Our news page...

Hey all,

For the Dependency Manager release I was just updating our news page and saw that all links to our download page there still point to /site/downloads.cgi even though the new page is at /downloads.cgi. Before I do a global search & replace, does anybody disagree with that?! Also, some of these older releases are not even present anymore in that location so I was wondering if we should instead make those point to our archives? Or would that be a bad thing because we'd rather point them to the latest release anyway?!

Greetings, Marcel

No, the site has been moved to SVN and the downloads page is actually now [1]. Its a simple table, which is converted into the nice download html page during publication.

Hi,

I see in the current news page that downloads still point to the /site page.
and apparently, there's no redirection to the new donwloads.cgi.

So, should I update all the links ?

By the way, how to update the download page itself ? I tried to update this:

   https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FELIX/downloads

but it's not reflected on any of the download.cgi pages ?

thanks.
/Pierre

Go ahead. Thanks. Actually using the old URL just results in a 301 redirect to the new one.

Hmm, releases superceded by newer releases are removed from dist and thus only the newer version is available from the downloads page.

We have a sentence, though, at the end of the downloads page pointing to the archive. Maybe that sentence should be moved to the top ?
