"Nightly Builds" location

Hi,

During a vibrant discussion on "macOS and AOO42X" subject, Keith N. McKenna
on 4 May (2020/05/04) pointed out
the Release Policy as stated at:
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#publication

In case of "Nightly Builds":
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#build-directories
their location is given as follows:  people.apache.org/builds

It doesn't work ("Not Found. "The requested URL was not found on this
server.").

Can that be rectified?


Regards,

Czesław Wolański

Sure it should, but these reference should be rewritten. Rather than email webmaster@ I've submitted an INFRA JIRA issue.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20258

Here is the wiki page about OpenOffice nightlies:

That was exactly my point. It is solely up to ASF to decide what kind of
information user shall see at the target page.
"Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server." is hardly
user-friendly.

And yet if a path is mentioned in the "ASF policy on software releases", that path should exist.
Curiously the "Information for end-users" link at the top of the same document pointing to http://www.apache.org/legal/release-download-pages#remind-users is another 404

I believe the webmaster@apache.org should do a revision of dead links ;)

It should be made clear that nightly builds are not required and not advertised. The location and frequency is up to the project and is found by asking on a project’s dev list.

See Jim and Matthias’s discussion about weekly builds.

Hi,

Thanks for explanation. I'll report this issue.
Let me/us hope it is not  "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an
enigma". ;‑)

Best regards,

Czesław

Given that it is an error on a "toplevel website", according to ASF own rules, you can report that to webmaster@apache.org
(http://www.apache.org/foundation/contact.html)
