Just a question about our current documentation about cutting releases:
[1] mentions that symbolic links should be created for the distributions. I
think this is outdated. Can anybody confirm this? I will then update the
instructions accordingly.
I don't think the symbolic links are very useful.
They are certainly not necessary, and it's easy for them to get out of date.
If a mirror is set up correctly, they do work, however anyone
downloading from the symbolic link will see the file as
commons-dbutils-current-bin.zip
rather than
commons-dbutils-1.5-bin.zip (for example).
The older release instructions [2] even say, symbolic links should not
be used at all (section 2 Update Release Directory).
