[DISCUSS] Removing old releases from downloads.apache.org
Hi Folks,
I just noticed that almost all releases are currently present on
downloads.apache.org [1]. This even includes 3.2.4, which is already
EOL, as well as all versions from the 3.4.x line.
To the best of my knowledge, we should normally keep only the latest
release on the downloads mirror, while older versions are moved to the
archive [2].
Does anyone know why things are set up this way currently, and whether
we can clean this up by moving the older releases to the archive?
bcc. private@ in case folks from PMC have some context.

Thanks, folks. If there are no objections, I’ll proceed with cleaning things up next week, excluding 2.10.2 and the latest releases.

The files are automatically copied to archive.a.o once they appear in
downloads.a.o - with maybe a few minutes or hours delay.
So all that is really needed is to remove the old releases from
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hadoop/
I would suggest removing the links to the older 3.4 releases on
https://hadoop.apache.org/releases.html and just suggesting people go

Re: [DISCUSS] Removing old releases from downloads.apache.org
Posted by PJ Fanning <fa...@apache.org>.
The files are automatically copied to archive.a.o once they appear in
downloads.a.o - with maybe a few minutes or hours delay.
So all that is really needed is to remove the old releases from
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hadoop/
I would suggest removing the links to the older 3.4 releases on
https://hadoop.apache.org/releases.html and just suggesting people go
to https://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/ if they want old source
releases.
