| <title>Obtain the Apache Forrest distribution</title> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| <h1><a name="how" />How to download</h1> |
| <p class="note"> |
| Please realise that Forrest is still pre-1.0 release version. It is |
| certainly usable for those who are prepared to move with it. See more |
| notes about <a href="index.html#status">status</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Use the links below to download a distribution of Apache Forrest from one |
| of our mirrors. It is good practice to <a href="[location]#verify">verify |
| the integrity</a> of the distribution files. |
| Apache Forrest releases are available under the |
| <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/">Apache License, Version 2.0</a> |
| - see the README.txt and LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files contained in each release artifact. |
| </p> |
| <!-- |
| <p> |
| Apache Forrest is distributed as a <code>zip</code> archive (for Windows) |
| and as a <code>tar.gz</code> archive (for UNIX). The contents are the |
| same, the only difference is the line-endings of all text files. |
| </p> |
| --> |
| <p> |
| The "sources" package contains all of the source code, documentation, and |
| resources, together with the pre-built ready-to-run forrest binary. The "dependencies" package |
| includes pre-packaged copies of relevant portions of Apache Cocoon |
| and Apache Ant, and other supporting products. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| First unpack the "sources" to your chosen installation location, then unpack the "dependencies" over the top of that, which will install each to the appropriate location. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| After unpacking the distribution, follow the README.txt to see the |
| Requirements (just Java 1.5+), Installation Instructions and |
| Documentation, Licensing and legal issues and credits. |

| See notes above regarding <a href="#how">how to download</a>. |
| </p> |
| <h1><a name="archive" />Archive of old releases</h1> |
| <p> |
| Older releases are available in the |
| <a |
| href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/forrest/">archive</a>. Those |
| releases are only provided as historical artefacts. We strongly recommend |
| to not use those releases, but upgrade to the most recent release. |
| </p> |
| <h1><a name="verify" />Verify releases</h1> |
| <p> |
| It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files |
| using the MD5 and PGP signatures. MD5 verification ensures the file was |
| not corrupted or tampered with. PGP verification ensures that the file |
| came from a certain person. |
| </p> |
| <h2><a name="pgp" />PGP Signature</h2> |
| <p> |
| The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy">PGP</a> |
| signatures can be verified using tools such as |
| <a href="http://www.gnupg.org/">GPG</a>. First download the Apache Forrest |
| <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/forrest/KEYS">KEYS</a> as well as the |
| <code>*.asc</code> signature file for the particular distribution. It is |
| important that you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the |
| main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the |
| signatures using ... |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| % pgpk -a KEYS |
| % pgpv apache-forrest-X.Y-sources.tar.gz.asc |
| |
| <em>or</em> |
| |
| % pgp -ka KEYS |
| % pgp apache-forrest-X.Y-sources.tar.gz.asc |
| |
| <em>or</em> |
| |
| % gpg --import KEYS |
| % gpg --verify apache-forrest-X.Y-sources.tar.gz.asc |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| The files <code>apache-forrest-0.9.*</code> |
| are signed by David Crossley <code>3248A46E</code> (and <code>23CB7A2A</code>) |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2><a name="md5" />MD5 Checksum</h2> |
| <p> |
| To verify the MD5 checksum on the files, you need to use a program called |
| <code>md5</code> or <code>md5sum</code>, which is included in many unix |
| distributions. It is also available as part of |
| <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html">GNU |
| Textutils</a>. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from |
| <a |
| href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/">here</a>, |
| <a |
| href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/">here</a>, or |
| <a href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/">here</a> or an openssl client |
| from |
| <a href="http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html">here</a>. |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| % md5sum apache-forrest-X.Y-sources.tar.gz |
| ... output should match the string in apache-forrest-X.Y-sources.tar.gz.md5 |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| We strongly recommend you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5. |
