[NOTICE] Archiving Releases

[Robert Burrell Donkin <rd...@apache.org>]

incubator releases now need to be distributed using the standard apache
system. new releases will need to be mirrored and uploaded to
www.apache.org/dist. see
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#release-distribution for more details. please post questions about the new process on general.

as part of this process, i'm archiving all existings releases from
people.apache.org to archive.apache.org. redirects will ensure that
existing URLs do not need to be changed. 

i see that stdcxx has releases in
people.apache.org/dist/incubator/stdcxx. unless anyone jumps in, i plan
to archive these in the near future. i'll stay subscribed for to this
list till sunday 13th so if anyone has any questions about the archiving
process please reply to this email.

they are incubator releases. they should be archived for historical
purposes within the incubator archive. however, if the new top level
project wants to adopt copies of these releases for it's own archive
then that's fine. 

<infra-hat>
sync'ing to the release mirrors is expensive. please only copy material
which is current to www.apache.org/dist/stdcxx. 

any old releases which stdcxx wants to retains as part of it's history
should be copied directly to archive.apache.org/dist/stdcxx. if there is
no one with the required karma then please contact me or someone else in
the infra team to execute the move to the archives.
</infra-hat>

i've copied the stdcxx releases to the incubator archive and added a
redirect. please wait until the mirrors have sync'd and then give it a
test.

i've left the originals in people.apache.org. let me know if you'd like
me to move them into the archive.apache.org/dist/stdcxx. i'd like to
delete people.apache.org/dist/incubator within the next week or two so
please let me know if you'd like me to move any of the releases into
archive.apache.org/dist/stdcxx.

Since we're a top level project now, should we move our past
releases to the TLP location or should we leave them under
incubator? (I'll assume everything will move to TLP unless
I hear otherwise.)
