@karuturi the repos currently listed on the [Downloads
page](http://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads.html) are not under community
control. Furthermore, the manner in which the page is laid out, it appears as
though the packages and repos are endorsed by the community. However, at no
point did the community vote out those packages. As such, the pages must
indicate that the packages and repos listed are not community endorsed or
managed. Finally, from a fairness perspective, we should not be picking which
3rd party repos are listed. We either list all maintained 3rd party repos or
we list none. The list should include a description of each repository to
inform decision about which repository to use (if any).
@remibergsma the packages distributed by ShapeBlue are the baseline
releases built noredist. There are no additional patches or changes made to
them. The reality is that many users need at least one noredist plugin. As a
community, we will never be able to distribute the pre-built noredist plugins
for legal reasons. The ShapeBlue repositories address this important user
issue.
