Thanks, Erik. It makes sense to me to have the update site under the
dist/ directory, since it is a kind of distribution.
I see there was an update to the page
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html
about a month ago which added the information that incubator podling
releases
*must* be on http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/---podlingname---
Yes, after several long and heated debates I believe this is what was
decided, see the thread at [1] for example; the doc you mentioned
seems to confirm this but as there is no such location I'm also
wondering what the status quo is right now...
So I'll make our update site have the form:
www.a.o/dist/incubator/uima/....
I see in geronimo/eclipse/updates/plugins the jars for the plugins,
plus
the .asc, md5, and .sha files. How are the .asc, md5, .sha files
used?
Does the Eclipse update-site "signing" mechanism interface with
these files?
No, afaict these are not really used though can't hurt to have them.
By the way, I looked at www.a.o/dist/incubator, and it appears that
the
incubator tree has not yet been set up (I get a URL Not Found). Am I
looking in the wrong spot, or have there been no incubator releases
since this policy change?
It's a pita that we still don't have a www.a.o/dist/incubator - I was
under the impression that we're using that already but it seems that
the incubator is still using the non-mirrored and non-archived
location at people.apache.org/dist/incubator/...
Cheers,
Erik
