Maybe we bite the bullet and have the long discussion with Infra/Legal and the ASF Board if necessary to explain why storing this on ASF servers makes the most sense in terms of serving our downstream consumers and ensuring the long-term stability and usefulness of our releases. It would be a painful discussion since we're not doing the same thing that everyone else does, and anything unusual is instantly suspected of being immoral. But I think we have very good reasons for what we're doing that are entirely conformant with ASF policy goals. -Rob > Herbert > > [1] https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/ooo-extras/ > [2] > http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-change-to-google-code-download-service.html > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
