Are their NiFi nightly builds published anywhere?

Hi, I couldn't find direct links to published dev builds on the Apache site, are they being produced regularly? E.g. we are seeing some new features streaming in and don't always have access to a full local build environment to iterate with the NiFi engineering team. Having automated build infrastructure helps here.

There are not any nightly builds in the Apache environment for NiFi to date. That is largely because it is really consistent with ASF policy even though you do see some other projects doing that. We could certainly setup something like that within HWX release engineering environment.

They are not currently. We had evaluated this before, but generally available nightly builds and their ilk are not allowed according to guidelines [1]. Setting this up for a strictly developer capacity provided in "limited" dissemination to the developer mailing list seems to be okay but is not something we had pursued further at the time with Apache infrastructure.
