I'm not sure what you mean. Note that Github automatically creates these release pages based on the presence of git tags in the version control history. I looked at a number of Apache projects and their Github Release pages. By the very nature of how Github presents the release page, they all contain links to download a source archive provided by Github. Different to MXNet, these projects do not in addition provide the ASF source archives on their Github release page, but only the Github source archives. - Apache Arrow: https://github.com/apache/arrow/releases - Apache Hadoop: https://github.com/apache/hadoop/releases - Apache Maven: https://github.com/apache/maven/releases Most closely, the Apache Beam project includes changelog in a similar manner as MXNet and also tags RC releases on Github: - Apache Beam https://github.com/apache/beam/releases So is your recommendation here to take down the ASF source archives, ie. the .tar.gz, .tar.gz.asz and .tar.gz.sha512 files and only keep the basic Github functionality? This will make it harder for users to discover the official ASF releases, but it's certainly something we can do. Best regards Leonard

It’s quite clear they should not be linked to from an Apache page like this as users will think these are Apache releases. Please remove them, after that bring it up on the incubator general list and we can discuss what needs to be done. > Also I notice you referred to the Github Release page.

You need to mark anything that is not an Apache release very clearly and if that cannot be done them it needs to be removed. Thanks, Justin
Re: Issue with releases / feedback from ASF board
Hi Justin, this page currently contains some links to third-party binary distributions of MXNet (for example at [1]). The question of what the PPMC should recommend those third-parties to avoid trademarking issues is currently being discussed on private@ and trademark@. With respect to the MXNet Website linking to third-parties, I haven't been able to find a policy yet. The current plan is to add a disclaimer and bring this up with the Incubator for review. Do you think that's sensible? Do you have any other recommendation? Also I notice you referred to the Github Release page. Github will automatically provide a ZIP folder ("Source code (zip)") for the commit tagged as release. PPMC has further uploaded the ASF .tar.gz, .tar.gz.asc and .tar.gz.sha512. Is that what you mean with confusing mix of "Apache and non-Apache releases"?

Hi, I don't see what has been done about this [1] which I mentioned above. What is the planned action here? Thanks, Justin 1. https://mxnet.apache.org/get_started?
