I think this is all just an unusual set of
circumstances.
One thing that can be done prior to a release is to hit the Find A
Mirror script to make sure that there are mirrors:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700/eclipse-SDK-3.4.2-win32.zip
We couldn't do that before during a freeze, because the Find a Mirror
would only see the frozen portion (and was thus of no use).

I never just release a build without

and felt the pain of overloaded servers :-)
Next time, perhaps we could get a go
from the foundation that there are sufficient mirrors to support the
release
before we send out our announcements and reveal our web pages?

Agh, I'm so sorry. I was unaware that you had fixed
this. My assumption was incorrect.
After a bit of examination, I learned that I did not update the rsync
stanza
for the mirrors after installing the new storage devices last weekend.
Mirrors were still syncing from the old, stale download.eclipse.org
content from before I installed the new storage.
*sigh* I take the clown nose for this one, again.
As our mirrors reconnect, they will see plenty of new content to fetch.

Denis, I did use the approach that you suggested. I released the build
yesterday morning. However, I changed the dynamic index.php to a
static index.html so the 3.4.2 build wouldn't show up on the download
page
yesterday. I put the dynamic page back this morning.
You can see that the build is dated with yesterday's date. Not sure
why it's not on any mirrors.

"There are no mirrors"
Eclipse 3.4.2 was announced about one hour ago. As you can see by
the URL below, there are no mirrors.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700/eclipse-SDK-3.4.2-win32.zip
As I have posted previously, those top-10 projects whose download pages
cannot delay advertising release builds until they are appropriately
mirrored
will need to seek a different approach. Please refer to the
cross-project
mailing list archives for details, and possible suggestions.
Thanks,
Denis
