Hi guys,

dist.apache.org should contain only the latest release.

It's automatically backup on archive.apache.org, it's where you can find previous releases.

For instance:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/karaf/4.1.1/

is the latest Karaf release and:

http://archive.apache.org/dist/karaf/

contains previous releases that happened on dist.apache.org.

Regards
JB

That's good idea. I've checked other project and it seems they don't keep release candidates.

@JB([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>), any guideline or convention for this ?

    ... the artifacts from
    https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/gearpump'  to
    https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/gearpump/ repo,
    so we don't loose any historical data.

    The situation is worse when we have multiple release
    candidates.Erasing the old artifacts would quicken the release
    procedure.

    Please, tell me what you think.
