Second try, sorry for the first mail. I had a talk on #asfinfra today, regarding our upcomming 4.0.1 release. Sync on mirrors takes about a week, and the mirror can in general not hold 4.0 and 4.0.1 Therefore the current suggestion is to a) remove 4.0 from mirrors GA - 1week = 12 september b) update 4.0.1 to mirrors GA = 19 september. The downside is that mirrors will have the 4.0 ready for download for upto a week (SF will be faster). For 4.1 we should consider an alternative way. Use 4.1.x on the mirrors and have a 4.1 symlink pointing at 4.1.x. That way, we simply replace the 4.1.x file, after GA, and mirrors do not have a time without a package. I have updated issue 6654, and Henkp is copied on this mail. rgds jan I
