Hey Mike,

The latest release (2.2.0) has this link for the source:

http://www.apache.org/dist/trafodion/apache-trafodion-2.2.0/src/apache-trafodion-2.2.0-src.tar.gz

(seen on http://trafodion.apache.org/download.html)

That does not use the mirrors, but instead uses *only* our TLP web server.
That is an explicit violation of the policy.

Further, the announce@apache moderators informed Trafodion of this, and
held back the release announcement. My warning is simply an escalation of
an already-provided request to fix the download page.

Cheers,
-g
