>             Project: Infrastructure
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: CMS, SvnPubSub, Website

> Maven site is composed of a main site + components documentation: http://maven.apache.org/developers/website/website-overview.html
> Currently it is done with 2 svnpubsub entries + .htaccess:
> - / is https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/ and /components is https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/components/, with following svnwcsub.conf entries:
> /www/maven.apache.org/content: %(CMS)s/maven/content
> /www/maven.apache.org/content/components: %(CMS)s/maven/components
> - end of .htaccess rewrite rules https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/.htaccess rewrites to /components if file not found in /
> It works not so bad but there are 2 shortcomings:
> - wrong redirect for directories not ending with /: see http://maven.apache.org/ref
> - download.cgi script (for mirrors) does not work: try "download" link from http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/index.html to see the failure, but the link from /components "works": http://maven.apache.org/components/ant-tasks/index.html (images are ko, since this url is not expected to be used)
> After looking for solutions for these shortcomings, I found that what we are trying to do with .htaccess rewrite rules would in fact be perfectly done with something like an unionfs (or any equivalent tool) that merges /components into /
> This would solve both shortcomings and be less cryptic than the .htaccess rewrite rules
> could such unionfs be configured for http://maven.apache.org/ , please?
