Release engineers, buildmeisters,
We have successfully deployed our new storage devices.
download.eclipse.org and archive.eclipse.org now reside on a 16-disk, 4
Terabyte array. With this, I'd like to remind you of two things:
1. We always need to keep the download.eclipse.org footprint as
small as we can, as the contents is mirrored to servers worldwide. Only
high-traffic, recent downloads should be stored here. Older,
non-current files must be moved (not copied) to archive.eclipse.org.
2. With this new array, we have lost our ability to freeze the
download.eclipse.org content for major releases. This is only relevant
to those top-10 projects whose download pages are dynamically generated
by reading the contents of a directory structure. Please see my
previous posting about this [1] and you can also use this bug[2] as an
example of a fix that gets our thumbs-up.
Thanks for putting up with our recent shenanigans. Eclipse.org is back
up at full speed now.
Denis
