I agree. For where we are trying to use Zeppelin, our company has MANY different security features which prevent us from fully building from source, so currently the only version of Zeppelin that we can use are the binaries with a particular version of Spark. We’re really hoping that the next version of Zeppelin is available that way as well, as it would be much easier going that route than trying to get around our security precautions (and safer ☺). Anyhow, just my two cents. Thanks,

I personally always build from source and package my own distribution, but for visibility and newbies it would be best to have regular release packages. Also if there’s a way to provide packages for current and previous version of Spark that’d probably be good as well. I’m happy to help in any way. Could we just use Jenkins to punch out packages automatically? Thanks, Silvio
