I still don't understand whether or not this link " http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/curator/"; is allowed on the download page at all. Sebb's last comment was "yes and no". I have trouble following that reply. Clear guidance is needed here. Is it allowed or not? Curator was told no. What I need is a more detailed response instead of short, terse directives. If it's not allow then what should I use for a link to mirrors? Must I include the full list of mirrors like other sites do? Much more guidance is needed please - over specify if you can.
There are now ~6 responses above and I'm still not clear on if it's acceptable to have this link "https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi#verify"; or this link "http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/curator/"; on our downloads page. I now understand that the asc, sha and keys file should link directly to "https://www.apache.org/dist/curator/..."; but I don't know what is allowed for linking to a mirror page, etc. At this point, I would not be able to write a specification for how to successfully create a download page. Pointing at other sites is useful. Pointing at other generators is useful. However, Curator uses Maven Doxia, not cgi, etc. Currently, our downloads page is on Apache's wiki as it's easier for us to manage. Then Mark Thomas says "A separate concern may be that the Curator download page is being served directly from cwikia.a.o.". Are we required to host our download page from "curator.apache.org"? So far, here's what I know if I were to start a spec for a proper downloads page... Your Apache Download page... - ...must have at least one link to the current release. This link must use the "closer" utility. For example: https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/PROJECT/VERSION/SOURCE-RELEASE - ...must have a link to the checksum and hash for the current release. These links must use direct links to the Apache distribution server. For example: https://www.apache.org/dist/PROJECT/VERSION/HASH-OR-CHECKSUM - ...must have a link to the keys file for your project. This link must use direct links to the Apache distribution server. For example: https://www.apache.org/dist/PROJECT/KEYS At this point, these are the only three things I can say with certainty. Please advise (with as much detail as you can afford). -Jordan On Fri, Dec 21, 2018 at 4:05 AM Bertrand Delacretaz <bdelacre...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, Dec 20, 2018 at 11:36 PM Jordan Zimmerman <randg...@apache.org> > wrote: > > ...A template with correct links > > (with simple replacements for project name and version) would be > > very helpful.... > > It's not really a generic template but maybe what Sling is doing > helps, the download page at https://sling.apache.org/downloads.cgi is > generated using JBake and this template: > > > https://github.com/apache/sling-site/blob/master/src/main/jbake/templates/downloads.tpl > > merged with this content page which includes the mirror selection form: > > > https://github.com/apache/sling-site/blob/master/src/main/jbake/content/downloads.md > > and this default cgi page: > > > https://github.com/apache/sling-site/blob/master/src/main/jbake/assets/downloads.cgi > > -Bertrand > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org > >
