I am not aware of any policy that dictates that (but would love to see links.) I am aware that releases MUST at least be distributed via dist.apache.org [1], but that isn't exclusive, meaning the PMC is welcome to distribute _released software_ via other means (PyPy, NPM, Maven, Docker Registry, CPAN, Bintray, carrier pigeon, etc). --David [1] http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#where-do-releases-go --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
