Sorry, late to this... My vote would be to get rid of SourceForge entirely. I can't stand their ethics, services, or downtime...
We use download.jboss.org for Artificer and haven't had any issues. Fully supports SCP or SFTP -- I already have it scripted and would be more than happy to help put it together for Hibernate. Plus, jboss.org/redhat.org now include Splunk for parsing the server logs -- getting download metrics is fairly straight-forward. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Steve Ebersole" <st...@hibernate.org> > To: "Emmanuel Bernard" <emman...@hibernate.org>, "Gunnar Morling" > <gun...@hibernate.org> > Cc: "Hibernate Dev" <hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org> > Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 2:37:29 PM > Subject: Re: [hibernate-dev] Hosting of binaries > > FWIW the SourceForge upload UI seems to be restored. > > > > On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 2:14 AM Emmanuel Bernard <emman...@hibernate.org> > wrote: > > > For info, SourceForge hopes to restore ssh access (the last service they > > will activate) August 3rd. > > > > http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-infrastructure-and-service-restoration-update-for-728/ > > > > > On 28 Jul 2015, at 10:27, Gunnar Morling <gun...@hibernate.org> wrote: > > > > > > Your proposed order seems good.
