[jira] Created: (CAMEL-3165) The download archive pages for archived releases must point to archive.apache.org

The download archive pages for archived releases must point to archive.apache.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CAMEL-3165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-3165
             Project: Apache Camel
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: website
            Reporter: sebbASF


http://camel.apache.org/download-archives.html has a list of previous (and current) releases, which point to the release notes for each release, for example:
http://camel.apache.org/camel-150-release.html

This is very useful.

However, the download links in the release-specific pages all point to the mirror system.
This is not ideal, as superseded releases should removed from the mirroring system, thus breaking the links.

Most other projects I know include the link to archive.apache.org in the main download page, and don't include it in the release notes.

That makes it easier to maintain the website without making it harder to find the archives.

In summary what I'm suggesting as a fix is:
- Change the "Getting past releases" section in the main download page to point to archive.apache.org.
- remove the Binary Distributions and Source Distributions sections from the Getting the Distributions section of the all release notes, both existing and future

--------------------------------

Camel used to be part of ActiveMQ, so much older releases are here:

http://archive.apache.org/dist/activemq/apache-camel/

Could add this link alongside 

http://archive.apache.org/dist/camel/apache-camel/

on the download page.

----------------------------------------

Looks like http://archive.apache.org/dist/camel/apache-camel/ is missing releases older than 1.6.0. Need a bit of detective work.

I will remove the older releases from dist, no need to have them in both places, but I'd like to better understand the infra backup process first.

The backup works by mirroring the dist files from www.apache.org/dist to archive.apache.org/dist.
However, the mirroring does not delete from archive.apache.org, it only copies new files.

See: http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#how-to-archive
