Homepage warning message when using Snapshot versions
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DS-882
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-882
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JSPUI, XMLUI
    Affects Versions: 1.7.1
         Environment: any DSpace
            Reporter: Bram Luyten (@mire)


I'm seeing a lot of production installations of DSpace, implemented with 
snapshot versions. If those are not constantly being updated with new patches, 
or to a next stable release, these people might get in trouble with future 
upgrades.

Although I'm not sure, my guess is that people don't deliberately install the 
snapshots, and therefor, might benefit from a warning.

My suggestion: immediately after a stable release, and with the creation of a 
first new snapshot version, a warning could be added to the frontpage "this is 
a development version of DSpace and should not be used in production". 

Of course, the developer can always manually remove or disable the warning, 
confirming that they are aware.
