[DL][Website] First draft of the new DL scripting
Hi all,
I was busy at the weekend to clean-up the DL scripting.
The new webpages are accessible here (as long as they are not published):
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/new/index.html
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/new/other.html
Some notes before you start with checking out:
1.
The current focus is on reducing complexity, better simplification and
more automatism. Not the design and layout. This is nearly the same.
2.
It's normal that not all links will work as it's only a part of the
download area. It depends on the link itself if it's not yet working or
really broken. ;-)
3.
When you find errors and want to report them please make sure to browse
to the following webpage to help me with some debug data:
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/new/analyze.html
Next big step is to implement the new directory structure on the mirrors.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

On the weekend I'll have more spare time and I'm planning to do the next
updates. So, if you (or anybody else !) have some ideas while testing,
just tell me.

yes, that's a good idea...after re-thinking, maybe my ideas were too
complicated for what you've already successfully simplified.
As things go on, we can revive this if needed.
Thanks again for all you've done, really. Your changes have already
improved the logic a lot. I'll do some more testing.

mirrors. ;-) But OK, let's call it "binaries".

So, waiting for the final definition. For the moment I'll use "aoo" for
my testing.

I would be fine with any name but I assume that we will discuss a final
name during a potential graduation. And it is only an abbreviation in
this context. Not really visible or important in this context to many
people.

Good. I'd use "openoffice" as project name, for clarity. It's longer
than alternatives but we already got rid of "localized", "stable" and so on.

I think we can finalize the future directory structure #part 2 on the
wiki page.
Current proposal:
.../ooo/<VERSION>/source/
.../ooo/<VERSION>/bin/<LANG>/
.../ooo/<VERSION>/bin/SDK/
When I remember there were some concerns regarding "bin". And I would
keep the project name open or flexible assuming a change in favor of "aoo".
.../<PROJECT_NAME>/<VERSION>/source/
.../<PROJECT_NAME>/<VERSION>/binaries/<LANG>/
.../<PROJECT_NAME>/<VERSION>/binaries/SDK/
Where PROJECT_NAME is something like "ooo" or "aoo" or "openoffice". I
would say we need no voting for this and need further discussion only if
somebody see some problems with the new proposed structure.

Hm, I've already created a new table in the Wiki to document the
separating the general improvements from the one towards the new mirror
structure.
But I think this is now enough. Otherwise the overview is really gone.
> attachment of pertinent files to the wiki page with comments?
When the things are discussed and done then these data normally remains
- at least this is my impression from other Wiki pages. Then the is also
gone. Besides this I think it becomes very fast a real clutch.
Let's see if we can make some progress here on the ML. When there is
something valuable, then we can take it over to the Wiki page. So, I
would suggest to create new threads with appropriate tags like "[DL
scripting][SCHEMA] ..."
What do you think?
