Thanks for the reply. Besides the clarification below, we will track and address here [1] the rest of the comments in this thread.

Or is the intent to remove the other one? - We PPMC will create apache-mxnet package with Apache releases in the form of source distributions. This is intended as first-party release to comply with the draft release policy. - As individual, and with appropriate names and description as determined by trademark review, I intend to continue to provide binary releases on PyPI for the convenience of the community. This is out of necessity as compiling all the CUDA code in MXNet can take hours even on powerful CPUs. -sz [1] https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/18397 On Sat, May 23, 2020 at 5:15 PM Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > - MXNet publishes only nightly pre-release builds to dist.mxnet.io for > the > > verification purpose for projects in the ecosystem and for developers who > > work on the bleeding edge. > > IMO Something more needs to be done here, at the very least I would expect > to se a very large disclaimer that these are not releases for use of the > general public and for internal development use only and are not Apache > Releases.
