Isabel Drost-Fromm commented on MAHOUT-1381:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for pointing this out. The URL you shared will be deleted as part of
MAHOUT-1305 (as much of the rest of the confluence based web page).
The issue is still valid though as there is another page at
http://mahout.apache.org/general/downloads.html - fixing this page now.
> Download page must not link to snapshots / nightly builds

> Key: MAHOUT-1381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1381
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Downloads
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> Nightly builds / snapshots which are not formal releases should not be linked
> from the main download page.
> Such builds have not been voted on and should only be used by developers who
> should be made aware that the code is without any guarantees,
> Nightly builds are not formal ASF releases, and must not be promoted to the
> general public.
> See [1] second para. The second sentence states:
> "Do not include any links on the project website that might encourage
> non-developers to download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release
> candidates, or any other similar package."
