Hi Keith, I somewhat agree that the src dist should be able to recreate the release artifacts. But in this case we will not be able to recreate only the docs distro, we can even create java docs.. If other dist's are failing due to the absense of docs module, then we have done something seriously wrong in the build.. Also if you look at the real world usage of a src dist, it's mostly used for browsing the source when debugging in IDE's. Not for rebuilding a docs release.
The reason for the seperate docs dist and not including docs to the src dist in here [1] was due to the size of the docs. We did not had the docs in the src dist in 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 releases. This is just my personal feeling about including the docs in the src release, though [1] was discussed at the time of 1.1 release[2][3]. I'm won't object for this release going forward with src dist containing docs. But we need to make sure to remove the binaries inside the tools folder of the src dist. Those binaries take 40 MB's.. thanks, Thilina [1] http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis2/releases/1.1/release_artifacts [2] http://markmail.org/message/so6fhofmelqngoey [3] http://markmail.org/message/eldizjrjg734evag On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 7:00 PM, keith chapman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi Thilina, > > The docs are needed in the source distribution, otherwise you cannot > build using the source distribution.
