[jira] Created: (VELOCITY-723) URL of Velocity link on getting started page on the website needs to be changed

URL of Velocity link on getting started page on the website needs to be changed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: VELOCITY-723
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-723
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Engine
            Reporter: Aruna Venkataraman
             Fix For: 1.6.2
         Attachments: getting-started.xml, Gettting Started.doc

Can we change the url of velocity link on http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/getting-started.html page?

This url will ultimately redirect the user to http://bluedogfan.com/wp-signup.php?new=mirrors page which is useless

Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. Go to http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/getting-started.html 
2. Under downloading velocity section, click on Velocity link
3. http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine is displayed
4. Click on velocity-1.6.2.zip under Binaries and sources section
5. http://bluedogfan.com/wp-signup.php?new=mirrors page is displayed with the message Registration has been disabled.

To fix this bug i have changed http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/engine/trunk/xdocs/docs/getting-started.xml code. 

Under section dowloading velocity i have changed:
<a href="http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine">Velocity</a>

to

<a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/velocity/engine">Velocity</a>

http://www.apache.org/dist/velocity/engine URL works. Please let me know your comments on this. Can i checkout and commit this patch?

Please find attached the modified getting-started.xml code. Also the steps to reproduce the issue has been attached in Gettting Started.doc

Regards,
Aruna

I am really concerned because as a new user i am unable to download it. Tried with several mirrors and was unable to download, so thought it was a bug.

[jira] Resolved: (VELOCITY-723) URL of Velocity link on getting started page on the website needs to be changed

Posted by "Nathan Bubna (JIRA)" <de...@velocity.apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-723?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nathan Bubna resolved VELOCITY-723.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

No, we use a mirror network for downloads.  If you want to download from the ASF server, that's fine, but we don't link the masses to that.  That would defeat the whole point of using mirrors.   If one mirror doesn't have their act together, just use a different one.   That's also part of the point: redundancy in case of failure.   If you are really concerned about a bad mirror, either try contacting the ASF infrastructure people (who create that list) or these bluedogfan people themselves.
