[WEBSITE] Download page for review on staging
Hi all,
I've committed some changes to the incubator.a.o/cloudstack downloads
page, which can be seen here on the staging site:
http://cloudstack.staging.apache.org/cloudstack/downloads.html
Any comments / concerns with the new structure of the page?
Two thoughts from me:
1 - Once we do a second ASF release, we'll add a link to the Apache
release archives in the "Older CloudStack Releases" section.
2 - Should we include the URLs (and instructions for how to configure)
for Wido's DEB repo? And also the yet to be made RPM repo? Wido,
obviously you get a veto on this.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
Those URL's will all 404 until we have an approved release, and I put
the files in place. I just wanted to get the page ready ahead of
time, given that this is our first release. The next time, we will
simply update the links.

I still need to set up that Yum repo, my idea was to do that at the same
host. Didn't do it yet though.

Great!
My other question would be, do you have a yum repo url in mind already
(just not built yet)? I could pre-stage the links to both repos and
the readme file.

Yes, I would do that. I'll put a README online at
http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/README with all the details on how to use it.
I can update that so we don't need to update the website.

Anonymous users can still clone from https, so no need to list http.
Only pushes require auth.

Looks great, Chip.
You should probably link to the http and https versions of the Git
repository.
You can check out the code using the git command:
git clone http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git
Committers should use the secure repository:
git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git
Also, I would not link to the Citrix CloudStack Github repos. This page has
various issues with it, as I have addressed in a previous thread that is
still not resolved. Linking to it from this section only compounds those
issues IMO.
Two thoughts from me:

Remember that we'll probably end up with various active release lines, so
the page has to support those. You could have a 5.0.x section, and a 4.0.x
section, for example. If they are active (i.e. we're still releasing minor
updates, bugfixes, then they both need to be prominantly displayed on this
page.) When we make them inactive, we simply remove them from this page,
and from the dist dir. At that point, we can add a link that takes you to
the archived dist dir, but it should be a low key text link at the bottom.

Yep! But clearly marked out, for obvious reasons.
