The last (and only) release was 0.8, as far as I can tell. There is no KEYS file in http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ace/, and there does not appear to be a full source archive of the project anywhere. The download page does not have a link to any source archives as far as I can tell. It does link to KEYS in SVN, but almost all other ASF projects have a copy of KEYS in the appropriate /dist directory. Normally releases are divided into binaries/ and source/ directories, with a KEYS file in the top-level, i.e. /dist/incubator/ace - KEYS - binaries/ace ....zip - sources/ace....zip Most of the files in the /dist/incubator/ace directory appear to be Maven artifacts; normally these are not stored in /dist but only in the Maven repo. Indeed most of the files are also in Maven Central. The only non-Maven files appear to be org.apache.ace.target.devgateway-0.8.0-incubator-distribution.zip org.apache.ace.target.devserver-0.8.0-incubator-distribution.zip neither of which contains the source. I would expect the above zips to be in /dist/incubator/ace/binaries with corresponding source files in /dist/incubator/ace/source The SVN layout [1] is also a bit unusual. There is no tags/ directory for release tags, although there is a releases/ directory containing individual entries for each release for each component. This is likely to become unmanageable very quickly, if every release adds another 63 directory entries under releases/ [1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ace/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
