How do you users receive that code and install it? We at least need
a tarball built. If you don't want to publish to pypi, you can use
the job definitions that the Python server projects use to build
artifacts.

Are those JAR files going somewhere we could link to?

Most of our distributors want a tarball or sdist or other artifact they
can use to build a package from. For the Python-based apps, we have
templates you can use in the zuul/layout.yaml file to introduce those
jobs into the right zuul queues. The release or infra teams can help you
identify the right template to use.

> Let me know how you want to proceed.

We only want to be linking to things we're actually publishing. The
first patch I mentioned removes the links so the Monasca projects
that don't have builds. The second patch removes the projects
entirely, but if we can update the page to link to a downloadable
artifact (rather than just a git repo tag) then we can keep the
projects in the list. We can get downloadable artifacts by having
you add build jobs and then having the release team tag again as a
new release candidate, or if there are already artifacts somewhere
(like the JAR file) we can set up the releases repo to link there.
