Mirrors and removing content from dist directory

["Mark R. Diggory" <md...@latte.harvard.edu>]

I want to check with the mirrors folks that if I remove content from the 
/www/www.apache.org/dist/java-repository directory, that this will not 
adversely effect activity between the mirrors and www.apache.org?

I ask this because we want to begin a process of moving the unofficial 
jars (dated builds) in the ASF Repository Directory 
(dist/java-repository) off to cvs.apache.org/repository (so that they 
are no longer distributed to the mirrors).

Removals shouldn't impose any problems. You've to be careful with 
additions or when you move stuff around in the dist tree.

Btw, apache.org/dist/ is archived on a daily basis to 
archive.apache.org/dist/. Maybe it makes sense to remove any unneeded 
developer-builds/-duplicates from there too?
