Hi all,
can someone tell me why I can't get a 6.0.3.1 from here:
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/
The 6.0.3.1 and the 6.0.3.2 are redirected to:
https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/6.0.3/
That doesn't make any sense.
There is a good reason for redirecting to our mirrors (via download.tdf)
when possible, as we serve content from downloadarchive.tdf directly
(ie, we're not relying on the mirror network).
For some reason downloadarchive.tdf gets a lot of download requests for
versions that are still present on the mirrors. The redirection helps
balancing an upload traffic we can't cope with.

If you get confused by the naming of "testing" well then because the
latest few releases are uploaded under testing (RC1 mainly), ...
rest of Guilhem applies.

Hi Guilhelm, Dennis,
I'm understanding your problems.

No I'm not confused about the name "testing". As long as it is redirected from "downloadarchive".
rest of Guilhem applies.
Maybe all ok for you, but 2 things:
1. The whole thing is called "downloadarchive" [1] with a subdirectory 6.0.3.1, and a archive should have the 6.0.3.1 (whereever). But there is no 6.0.3.1 .
2. Where can I find the 6.0.3.1 now? In "testing" there is no version.
Background:
I'm administrating since years the wiki page "Versions" [2]. And I have no link to 6.0.3.1 but to all others.
Solution:
So, the solution is like with 5.4.6.1 and 5.4.6.2. Only the last version should be redirected to the testing directory.
[1] http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/
[2] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Versions
1. The whole thing is called "downloadarchive" [1] with a subdirectory
6.0.3.1, and a archive should have the 6.0.3.1 (whereever). But there is no
6.0.3.1 .
Oh I see, the old redirection for 6.0.3.1 was still in effect, oops. I
replaced explicit redirects with a semi-transparent proxying to the
mirrorbrain instance earlier today, so we don't have to manually keep
the redirect maps up to date anymore.
2. Where can I find the 6.0.3.1 now? In "testing" there is no version.
You can now get it from there:
https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/6.0.3.1/
Cheers,
