bz#69959 and publishing docs zip files.

[Rich Bowen <rb...@rcbowen.com>]

I'm looking at https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69959  It appears that we used to publish zip files of the documentation. Does anyone remember why we stopped? Is it just something we forgot to do, or was it a choice?

The zip files build fine. And I’m happy to publish them periodically — although I’m not sure how.

Doing a quick search I cannot find that we decided to stop this. I guess we just forgot doing so and it was not added to our build
scripts. Probably that would be the best place to put it in.

Probably it should be in the build scripts. Otherwise I think just committing the zip file to
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/httpd/ should be fine as it would be available then via the CDN in the same manner as
the source code is.
I don't think that we need a formal release vote for doing so as it is the same content we continuously update on our website.
But if a vote would be required we should just add the zip file to the lists of artifacts we vote on when doing a release.
