Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5590:
-------------------------------------
I think its adequately described in the parent issue. Our release process
generates 600MB of "stuff". The size just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and
is already difficult to work with (e.g. upload across the internet).
A lot of the size is duplication: the source code is released two ways, once as
a tar.gz, also as maven. the .class files are released three ways (two binary
formats, then maven). the javadocs are generate and added to the binary
distributions (then multiplied twice again, for .tar.gz and .zip), as well as
being generated for maven.
It would be nice if the release was a reasonable size. I don't understand how
zip is helping any user. If a user does not know what to do with a .tgz, i do
not think I can help them!
