The dist release directory now contains only the latest release. Old releases have been removed. https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/madlib/ The project release documentation has been updated to include instructions on removing old releases. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB Thanks again, Rashmi On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 2:14 PM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 23 May 2017 at 20:23, Frank McQuillan <fmcquil...@pivotal.io> wrote: > > Thanks for making the fix to the download page, Roman.
