[jira] [Comment Edited] (LUCENE-5143) rm or formalize dealing with "general" KEYS files in our dist dir

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15890418#comment-15890418 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------

Attaching a patch against DIST site which updates the README.html files

* Clone Lucene's README for Solr, remove old HEADER.html, so it will display below the download links, not above
* For all three sub folders java, pylucene and solr, add a paragraph "Use a mirror" to encourage downloading from mirrors
* Added logos to the README.html files (where to find a smaller official Solr logo online?)
* Remove warning about tar for macOS, as this is not a problem anymore
* Revise the "Signatures" paragraph to a "Signatures and hashes" paragraph also describing what .md5 and .sha1 files are for
* Rewrite the Signatures paragraph
** It was still talking about {{binaries/}} and {{source/}} folders
** Make it clear that the {{.asc}} file must be downloaded from apache site
** Use x.y.z instead of random version number in example commands
** Changed link to the official apache dist to be HTTPS and write a note about always downloading KEYS file over HTTPS

There will be a separate git patch for {{buildAndPushRelease.py}} to stop publishing KEYS inside release folders.

> At some point in the past, we started creating a snapshots of KEYS (taken from the auto-generated data from id.apache.org) in the release dir of each release...
> http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/4.4.0/KEYS
> http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/4.4.0/KEYS
> http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/4.3.0/KEYS
> http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/4.3.0/KEYS
> etc...
> But we also still have some "general" KEYS files...
> https://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/KEYS
> https://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/KEYS
> https://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/KEYS
> ...which (as i discovered when i went to add my key to them today) are stale and don't seem to be getting updated.
> I vaguely remember someone (rmuir?) explaining to me at one point the reason we started creating a fresh copy of KEYS in each release dir, but i no longer remember what they said, and i can't find any mention of a reason in any of the release docs, or in any sort of comment in buildAndPushRelease.py
> we probably do one of the following:
>  * remove these "general" KEYS files
>  * add a disclaimer to the top of these files that they are legacy files for verifying old releases and are no longer used for new releases
>  * ensure these files are up to date stop generating per-release KEYS file copies
>  * update our release process to ensure that the general files get updated on each release as well
