Description
It would be very nice to be able to specify a mirror and have that setting picked up by all the builds that try downloading various artifacts. Currently, we always hit whatever host is hardcoded in the build scripts (most of the time it happens to be archive.apache.org) and suffer breakage when that host is acting up.
NOTE: this is not about downloading the initial tarball – we do have APACHE_MIRROR/APACHE_ARCHIVE variables for that – we just need to make them available to lower-level build steps.
