nightly builds for Linux

[nicolaerosia]

I see that nightly builds for Linux are missing and adding them would help Linux users test before the actual release.

Builds from PyPI were removed due to resource limitations of the PyPI project: pypi/support#50 (comment)

Also, tApache Policy states

Do not include any links on the project website that might encourage non-developers to download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release candidates, or any other similar package

http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#what

There are nightly releases that are not intended for the use of the general public but provided as is for the purpose of testing for MXNet and ecosystem developers at https://repo.mxnet.io/dist/index.html

Thank you, I was not aware of that.
I see that all builds from https://dist.mxnet.io/python/mkl are for macosx, all mxnet devs are using MacOS ? I'm looking for an easy way to test the latest build of mxnet MKL on Linux.
If you have a link for the job that builds the release version and pushes to pypi I could take a look and build it myself.

@nicolaerosia the naming scheme for mkl may be confusing. There are actually no more builds with mkl, due to licensing issues. But all builds now by default come with mkldnn (or recently renamed to onednn). If you like to use MKL as your BLAS library, you need to build from source.
