Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Removal of the Koneki RC1 repository

[Benjamin Cabé <bcabe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eike et al.,

Apologies for messing up with this. I wanted to be a good citizen by
removing the RC1 folder to ease the burden on mirrors, but it totally
slipped my mind that there could be a build running. I archived the RC1/
folder literally at the same time I updated our contribution for upcoming
RC3 (which now picks up our RC2), so I really wasn't expecting any
trouble... My bad :(


Again, please accept my sincere apologies for this, I should have sent you
a note directly, if not to the cross-projects ML at large...
Benjamin, getting used to the release train fun.
