We have reviewed and reduced the number of artifacts for RC5 : https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/systemml/0.11.0-incubating-rc5/
It only contains the following now : systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.tar.gz systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.tar.gz.asc systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.tar.gz.md5 systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.tar.gz.sha systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.zip systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.zip.asc systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.zip.md5 systemml-0.11.0-incubating-bin.zip.sha systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.tar.gz systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.asc systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.md5 systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.sha systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.zip systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.zip.asc systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.zip.md5 systemml-0.11.0-incubating-src.zip.sha There is also a blocking jira that we are working for future releases. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-926 Based on this, here is my +1.
