Description sebb 2019-04-22 18:53:13 UTC
The download page currently directs to the archive server for the hashes and sigs.

The links must use https://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/, not the archive server.
Comment 1 Matthias Seidel 2019-04-22 19:13:58 UTC
You surely are referring to:
https://openoffice.apache.org/downloads.html

(We also have a download page at https://www.openoffice.org/)

The hashes for the current release are on /dist.
Only the hashes for the archived versions point to /archive.

How are hashes for an archived version supposed to be on /dist?
Comment 2 Matthias Seidel 2019-04-22 19:19:09 UTC
I see now the problem is on https://www.openoffice.org/download

Will have a look into it!
Comment 3 Marcus 2019-04-23 22:00:37 UTC
Even when it was agreed with Infra years ago that we can go this way, I'll have a look how it can be changed now.
Comment 4 sebb 2019-04-24 08:16:53 UTC
@matthias: yes, I meant the download page at

http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

This links to 
https://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/KEYS
but
https://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.6/binaries/...

These links must be changed to point to
https://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.6/binaries/...


@marcus: not sure what you mean by your comment

@sebb:
I've meant it like I've written it. So, what exactly is not understandable?
Comment 6 sebb 2019-04-24 22:32:49 UTC
"... it was agreed with Infra ..." -- what is 'it' that was agreed with Infra?

==

Note that I am saying that hashes and sigs for the current release(s) must be served from www.apache.org, not from archive.apache.org.

[For releases that are only on the archives, of course the hashes and sigs should be served from there as well, but that is not what this issues is about.]

it = the situation like it is today: everything comes from the archive server - which is btw also a ASF system. So, the main idea behind "host the binaries whereever you want but the source + hash must come from ASF servers" is fulfilled.
Comment 8 sebb 2019-04-25 00:20:02 UTC
I think you have misunderstood what Infra said.

The archive server - archive.apache.org - is ONLY intended for downloads of older, archived releases.

Current source releases must be downloaded from the ASF mirror system (*) and the associated KEYS, sigs and hashes must be downloaded from 
https://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/...

Since OO is so large, there are other download sites for the binaries.

However the KEYS, sigs and hashes which related to the binaries must come from

https://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/...

Thinking and believing doesn't matter here. When you haven't participated in our discussions, then you don't know what happened. ;-)

I think I've changed it sucessfully, so please test on the staging server and report back before I publish the change:

Thanks
Comment 11 Matthias Seidel 2019-04-29 21:55:29 UTC
Thanks, Marcus!

For me it looks good and we should submit it...
Comment 12 Marcus 2019-04-30 21:36:11 UTC
Thanks for testing and verification.

PS:
Status "Fixed_without_code" because no change in the OpenOffice code but only in the websites.
