To alleviate some pain with using the commons-logging framework, I created version 99. It was hosted at the hostname no-commons-logging.zapto.org courtesy of no-ip.com. Unfortunately, due to lack of traffic I had to affirm usage of the the hostname once per month. Though this was slightly annoying, a complete pain is that I missed the last deadline, and that recreation is out as dashes in hostnames are no longer allowed.
As of 2011-08-15 16:11:00 GMT no-ip did credit to its name; no ip for no-commons-logging.zapto.org.
As 1) the current situation is disruptive for any version-99 user anyway, 2) there is a better workaround using the provided scope, I decided to not put back version 99 online under another hostname.
If you really need to use version 99 for some more time, just add an entry to your /etc/hosts file:
83.163.41.27 no-commons-logging.zapto.orgAs promised, I'll keep version 99 for 5 years, that is until October 2012. Please check back here for IP address changes.
Update 2011-12-19: I just found an alternative with almost the same name: version99.qos.ch. It is a static maven repository with a limited number of version 99 jars.
