What matters is how its advertised. By putting a link to SVN on a 'Downloads' page (and both above the fold and above the releases that have been voted on) you seem to be encouraging normal users to consume from SVN. Your releases (that have been voted on and approved by the IPMC) are what you should be pointing the public to. To quote http://apache.org/dev/release.html#what "In our case, that means any publication outside the group of people on the product dev list. If the general public is being instructed to download a package, then that package has been released." The entire release page is a good read and instructive. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
