> 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?
