Exactly. This doesn't state that "Releases for podling must be EXCLUSIVELY distributed through www.a.o/dist/incubator/podling". It was a statement to quit posting the release artifacts in the un-mirrored corners, and that these are the first initial official release paths. Previously these were scattered throughout on un-mirrored servers in a fairly haphazard way. So they must be shipped through /dist/incubator/podling or there is no assertion that they are releases. Once there, they travel unassisted to dozens of mirror servers and on to other locations and uses. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
