[jira] [Commented] (QPID-8391) qpid-cpp-1.39.0.tar.gz appears on
the download page as 2 different items
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-8391?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16999877#comment-16999877 ]
Robbie Gemmell commented on QPID-8391:
--------------------------------------
This is expected and a consequence of how the central download page chooses to presents the various clients and servers, which some people are only looking for one of at a given time, and how the component downloads and presentation have evolved over time.
All of the components used to be in a single download previously, but were mostly separated into individual repositories, downloads, releases etc some years ago. The C++ client and broker however share common code and were always joined in a single build though and remained that way. The main download page presents as a list of the individual clients and servers components, so that people can find the specific download package they need if they are only after one component, and links to those downloads as well as component overviews and individual release pages etc. Some of the older clients were presented as having a common API collectively considered the 'Qpid Messaging API', and so the C++ clients 'component link' still goes to a kind of landing page around that, while the C++ broker 'component link' does not.
It has been this way for perhaps 5 years now without note of any confusion etc that I can recall, so I dont think we are causing anyone particular troubles with it. I dont personally see it as something needing explicitly changed, unless there is a policy being violated in which case we shall of course update it.

> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major

> The file qpid-cpp-1.39.0.tar.gz appears twice on the download page:
> Qpid Messaging API C++
> and
> C++ broker
> The above names link to different pages:
> http://qpid.apache.org/components/messaging-api/index.html
> and
> http://qpid.apache.org/components/cpp-broker/index.html
> but the sources and hashes are the same.
> That does not seem right.
