As far as zip/tgz, I think Lucene as a developer library only needs one... but
Solr as a product should keep the zip. My heliosearch download counts have the
.zip outnumbering the .tgz... anyone know the counts for the ASF downloads?

I don't know this, but I want to point out one fact. Once the javadocs
situation is fixed, the size of .tgz vs .zip is essentially the same (see my
numbers above). I think thats because, once the javadocs thing is fixed, then
zips/tgzs mostly contain already-compressed jars so it does not matter, its
just a convenient packaging format.

> Key: LUCENE-6247
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6247
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 5.0
>
>
> This is a growing problem and now, its spun out of control.
> The latest release artifacts are half a gigabyte. sorry, I am against adding
> more retries to the smoke tester and continuing down the same path
> (LUCENE-6231).
> Instead I open this blocker issue to discuss fixing this. Whenever i tried to
> fix it before (e.g. removing zips), people complained at me "what are you
> trying to fix" and wouldn't let me minimize it in the slightest.
> Now the problem is clear, we have a blocker issue to discuss it.
