             Summary: rm or formalize dealing with "general" KEYS files in our dist dir
                 Key: LUCENE-5143
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5143
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Hoss Man


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
