The website looks very nice. However there are some problems with the download page. The links all appear to point to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/madlib/ This is not allowed; download links for current releases must point to the ASF mirror system. The dist release directory has not been tidied up; only the latest release(s) should be present on the mirror system. It's unfair on the 3rd party mirrors to expect them to carry old releases. There is no information on the download page how to check sigs or hashes, and no link to the KEYS file. KEYS, sigs and hashes should be linked from the following tree https://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/madlib/ IMO this needs to be fixed before graduation. Also the project docs may need updating to ensure RMs remove old releases after a new one has bee published. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
