Major Description
As per - http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#host-GA
—
Current releases must be served from the ASF mirroring system by placing them under http://www.apache.org/dist/. (How to upload releases to the dist/ tree is explained below.)
Project download pages must link to the mirrors and not to the main Apache Web site; see instructions for creating download pages for fuller details. The website documentation for the software must contain a link to the download page for the source.
Project websites (http://
{project}.apache.org), VMs (http://{project}.zones.apache.org and http://
{project}-vm.apache.org), and source control repositories (svn.apache.org and Git repositories) may not be used to distribute releases — that is, releases should not be downloaded from them.
Instructions for downloading available at http://www.apache.org/dev/release-download-pages
