Re: Our news page...

[Pierre De Rop <pi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I see in the current news page that downloads still point to the /site page.
and apparently, there's no redirection to the new donwloads.cgi.

So, should I update all the links ?

By the way, how to update the download page itself ? I tried to update this:

   https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FELIX/downloads

but it's not reflected on any of the download.cgi pages ?

thanks.

No, the site has been moved to SVN and the downloads page is actually now [1]. Its a simple table, which is converted into the nice download html page during publication.
