As I understand the release guidelines, one is not allowed to put something on dist.apache.org until after a release vote by the Incubator PMC approves that release:
"Only formally-approved releases may be distributed from the main directories" [1] For this candidate, as with our last two releases, we followed this piece of information: "It is traditional that release managers use their Apache home space to make available release candidates. " [1] To date, we only push to dist.apache.org once we have received approval here. Can you point me to the guidelines that lead you to believe that this must be staged on dist.apache.org?
