Btw. usually, there is little to no difference between the latest SNAPSHOT version, e.g. 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT in this case, and the RC. You could switch your CI to use the SNAPSHOT versions from the Apache repos. Please mind that these SNAPSHOTS are *not* releases, did not generally undergo the process necessary for a release, and are not meant for general consumption.
