Devaraj Das updated HADOOP-7371:
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.20.205.0)
                   0.23.0

I don't think this is a must-fix for 20.2xx. 

> Improve tarball distributions

> Hadoop release tarball contains both raw source and binary.  This leads users 
> to use the release tarball as base for applying patches, to build custom 
> Hadoop.  This is not the recommended method to develop hadoop because it 
> leads to mixed development system where processed files and raw source are 
> hard to separate.  
> To correct the problematic usage of the release tarball, the release build 
> target should be defined as:
> "ant source" generates source release tarball.
> "ant binary" is binary release without source/javadoc jar files.
> "ant tar" is a mirror of binary release with source/javadoc jar files.
> Does this sound reasonable?
