svnpubsub: dist is now live

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

The JMeter dist directory on minotaur [1] is now using svnpubsub.
It's no longer possible to manually copy files into the dist/jmeter
directory on minotaur (people) because the directory is owned by
svnpubsub.

Any new releases now need to be published by checking files into the
live svnpubsub repo at:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/jmeter/

[This currently contains JMeter 2.8 as that is the current release.]


However, as before a release should only be done following a vote on an RC.

The recommended way to do this is to upload the RC files to the dev
svnpubsub repo at:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/jmeter/

[This is currently empty, as there are no votes in progress.]

The new process is as follows:

Create the release as before.

Instead of uploading to a personal directory on people, use

ant RC_upload -DRC=RCn -DrepoType=live

Run the vote as usual, using the dev repo as the archive staging directory.

On a successful vote, publish the archives using

ant RC_publish -DRC=RCn -DrepoType=live

At a later stage, delete the old archives from the live repo:

ant release_delete -Djmeter.old.version=2.7 -DrepoType=live

Hope that's all clear - I guess we'll find out when we do the next release!

Yes, very clear.
Thanks for your work which simplify the release process.
