Nightlies are built and made available in the ASF snapshot repo, from master. This is noted at the bottom of the downloads page, and at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Useful+Developer+Tools#UsefulDeveloperTools-NightlyBuilds . This hasn't changed in as long as I can recall.
Nightlies are not blessed, and are not for consumption other than by developers. That is you shouldn't bundle them in a release, shouldn't release a product based on "2.0.1 snapshot" for example because no such ASF release exists. This info isn't meant to be secret, but is not made obvious to casual end users for this reason. Yes it's for developers who want to test other products in advance. So-called preview releases are really just normal releases and are made available in the usual way. They just have a different name. I don't know if another one of those will happen; maybe for 3.0. The published master snapshot would give you 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT at the moment. Other branches don't have nightlies, but are likely to be of less interest. You can always "mvn -DskipTests install" from a checkout of any branch to make the branch's SNAPSHOT available in your local Maven repo, or even publish it to your private repo.
