Fwd: [Fwd: Status of XML and Apache Mirrors]

[Matt Sergeant <ma...@sergeant.org>]

We're the only project lagging on this (aside from Xerces-P, which is 
in a similar boat). It's not a big deal for us, I think, because we 
have CPAN. But I think we should do it anyway.

Can one of the committers figure out what needs doing and how?

I just imported them without a hitch and verified your sig for the 
current distribution. I'd say that we're all set.

OK, think I did it. No idea if there's something you can do to syntax 
check the file though...

Okay, mostly done.

All that's left is for Matt to create a KEYS file in
/www/www.apache.org/dist/axkit/ (on minotaur) with his public key in it
so folks can use the .asc file to verify the download (here's an example
[1] ).

Past that, all redirects, symlinks, new dirs, etc. are all set. We
should be showing up on the Apache mirrors in the next 24 hours.

I'll do it tonight (Monday). What's needed isn't hard, just a bit 
convoluted [1].
