Re: [epp-dev] Status of Galileo M5 builds

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, let's remove this button (temporarily).

Currently it does not make sense to have it on this page, but it will
make sense as soon as we will have Galileo Milestone packages on the
packaging site (yes, this packaging site is able to distinct between
past=Ganymede / present=GanymedeSR2 / future=GalileoMx versions).
