>                 Key: INFRA-10859
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10859
>             Project: Infrastructure
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Mirrors, Website
>         Environment: ASF mirror hosts
>            Reporter: Sebb

> The ASF mirror hosts has an rsync module which allows most of the contents of the /www/www.apache.org/dist area to be listed. However some files such as hashes, sigs, and the KEYS files are intentionally excluded from the module.
> It would be useful to be able to list all the contents of the directory structure.
> It is obviously possible to scrape the web pages, but that is time-consuming, fragile and uses more resources. Likewise, using SVN to list the folder structure is time consuming, and it does not show the actual contents which will generally be different (e.g. the .revision files are not in SVN)
> There is a module that allows listing all the files on minotaur, but it looks like the module has either not been configured or it disallows listing on the ASF mirror hosts.
> Note: the incubator clutch tool currently relies on being able to list the incubator files, including the KEYS and sig files. These don't appear in the standard rsync listings, so the code relies on using find as a cron job on minotaur.
