Description

dist.apache.org

For a new major release remove all release files older than 2 versions, e.g., when releasing 1.7, remove all releases <= 1.5.

For a new bugfix version remove all release files for previous bugfix releases in the same series, e.g., when releasing 1.7.1, remove the 1.7.0 release.

1. If you have not already, check out the Flink section of the release repository on dist.apache.org via Subversion. In a fresh directory:

   svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/flink --depth=immediates
   cd flink
   

2. Remove files for outdated releases and commit the changes.

   svn remove flink-<version_to_remove>
   svn commit
   

3. Verify that files  are removed
   Remember to remove the corresponding download links from the website.
