Isabel Drost-Fromm commented on MAHOUT-1381:
--------------------------------------------

Thanks for pointing this out. The URL you shared will be deleted as part of MAHOUT-1305 (as much of the rest of the confluence based web page).

The issue is still valid though as there is another page at http://mahout.apache.org/general/downloads.html - fixing this page now.

> Nightly builds / snapshots which are not formal releases should not be linked from the main download page.
> Such builds have not been voted on and should only be used by developers who should be made aware that the code is without any guarantees,
> Nightly builds are not formal ASF releases, and must not be promoted to the general public.
> See [1] second para. The second sentence states:
> "Do not include any links on the project website that might encourage non-developers to download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release candidates, or any other similar package."
