After just addressing a request from an 81-year-old user who was looking 
for his beloved OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 in Italian (yes, I knew you 
couldn't imagine...) I now have all old Italian versions available at a 
non public download location.

What should I do to have them added back to the archive then? Should I 
open an Infrastructure JIRA issue maybe?

Regards,
   Andrea.

I wouldn't call it an issue but more a request. There is no issue with 
the archive. It would be just a question if it's possible to extent the 
current install builds with some more.

Actually the question is how I can submit to either of those archives 
(which actually seem to have the same content, as far as the legacy 
Italian build are concerned) some even older builds that were removed a 
long time ago from the archives to save space but that are still 
requested from our users.

These builds are now located in a private PLIO (Italian Native-Lang 
Project) archive.

OK, thanks. I've opened
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4190
as a request, considering Marcus' comment too.

Regards,
   Andrea.

I have an 79 year old mother who has to use WordIX on DOS :-)

I was not aware that Infrastructure added OOo legacy downloads to http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/

So, I guess the question is what procedure should be used to update the archive with the missing versions from: http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/localized/it/

Looks like there may be an Infrastructure issue.

Dave
