Web site updated
Hi team,
In preparation for our upcoming Apache top-level project graduation
and our 1.1 release, I finally got around to updating the website.
After fighting many hours with confluence to play nicely with the new
site template, the site has been updated with the Apache Shiro logo
contest winner [1] and and associated theme. I've tested it in the
latest versions of the major 4 browsers, IE 8, Opera 10.62, Firefox
3.6 and Chrome 6, so things should work nicely for the majority of our
visitors.
Two notes of thanks: to the Cassandra team for writing the 'download'
box on the upper-right corner of the home page that we graciously
borrowed, and to the Apache Directory team for one of their CSS files
that I used to support Confluence styling (code boxes, note/warn/tip
panels, etc). Everything else can solely be blamed on me.
Please check it out:
http://incubator.apache.org/shiro
Cheers,
Les

Make that 3 notes of thanks - the 3rd to Alex Salazar for creating the
new home page layout.
This was a big deal because the old home page was densely packed with
information and hit you in the face with a somewhat overbearing
architectural diagram, all of which made for unfriendly 'first time'
user experience. Alex's clean-up makes the site much more
approachable now. He gave me a wireframe and I tried to implement it
as best as I could. Thanks Alex!

This is the preferred approach. Publishing releases directly from
Apache's site is marginally ok for incubating releases but TLP
releases really should allow mirrors.

You are kidding, right? There are at least two ways to do everything

My understanding is that you must use the infra system for ASF
releases. The links to .jar files along side the maven snippets do
not represent ASF releases - they're only there as a convenience.
I do have a question though. When looking at Cassandra's download
stuff this weekend, I noticed that you are directed to mirror page:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/cassandra/0.6.5/apache-cassandra-0.6.5-bin.tar.gz
Currently Shiro's release comes from
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/shiro/shiro-root-1.0.0-incubating-source-release.zip
That is, we're not using the closer.cgi script. What is preferred?
Why does the ASF have two distribution mechanisms?
Thanks,
Les

Hi Alan,
>> Can we have download links to maven.org to obtain artifacts from
>> this ASF site?
I'm not sure I understand the question. You don't need links to
download maven artifacts; you just need to have a maven repo that is
willing to serve the artifacts that are specified by the pom
dependency. Since maven central publishes these artifacts, (correct me
if I misunderstand) I don't see the need to have a separate download
location specified.

Re: Web site updated

That was just there for convenience to reflect the same maven location
along side them in that table. They're not considered release
artifacts (only the source code distribution is considered an official
release artifact), so I didn't see any conflict with our mandate that
ASF releases must come from ASF infrastructure.
I'm quite happy to change it though, but to where should we point the
links? Currently the only place that I know where they exist is in
the ASF's own Nexus repo, and IIRC, the infra team does not wish that
to be used as a distribution point.

Sweet!
Can we have download links to maven.org to obtain artifacts from this ASF site? I'm not so sure. Is there another ASF site that does that as well?
