Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Fwd: EPP 2018-12 Repo Doesn't Appear Prep

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And, yes, the last RC is not published intentionally.

Thanks,

Markus

That's intentional. RC2 packages are the final (GA) packages which are
not visible on the download page until release day.

Regards,

Fred
