Shawn Heisey commented on LUCENE-6247:
--------------------------------------
My contribution:
* I agree with dropping zip and keeping .tgz or .tar.gz. That should cut the
size roughly in half for developers. It won't impact a user's download time.
* The size of what a user must download is more important than what the
developers must handle, but it's a separate issue.
* IMHO, those who cannot deal with a unix archive, regardless of OS, are
probably not qualified to write Lucene code or admin Solr.
** We can include some extraction instructions for Windows, which probably
would start with installing 7zip or one of the non-free commercial offerings
like Winzip or WinRar.

> 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.
