Hi,

I don't really think this requires a vote since I've just repackaged
existing distributions (see buildfile at the end of the mail for
details), but it won't hurt.

In <http://people.apache.org/~bodewig/manual/> there are ZIP and
tar.gz/bz2 files containing the manuals of the releases 1.6.5 to 1.8.1.
The contents are similar to the manual tarballs that will be created by
the distribution target in trunk's build.xml.

I'd like to release those to the public, so please cast your vote:

[ ] +1 release them
[ ]  0 don't care
[ ] -1 no, don't release them

The plan is to create a manual directory inside Ant's distribution area
right next to the source and binaries directories and copy over all
files from <http://people.apache.org/~bodewig/manual/>.  In addition I'd
create -current symlinks just like we have for source and binaries.

Once the mirrors have picked up all files I'd delete the archives for
1.6.5 to 1.8.0 so they remain on archives.apache.org only.

Furthermore I'll add a new download page for the manual and link to it
from the cover page ("if you are looking for an older version ...") and
the API docs page ("if you are looking for javadocs ...") of the Ant
website.

Stefan

PS: this is how I created the files, most of it stolen from trunk's
build.xml.
