Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-6258:
-------------------------------------
I think zip is more universally friendly. For Lucene, as it's a dev lib, this
matter less than for Solr.
Being a linux user, I prefer tgz.
I think either is fine, and both is unnecessary.
> Cut binary releases down to a single format

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ryan Ernst
>
> In LUCENE-6247, one idea discussed to decrease the size of release artifacts
> was removing either tgz or zip from our binary releases.
> The source releases are already only in tgz. I think we should do the same
> for binary releases. I looked at a number of other Apache projects, and the
> results are mixed, but there definitely are many major projects (hadoop,
> couchdb, cassandra, cordova) that only release tgz. Anyone who can deal with
> running using Lucene or Solr should have the skills necessary to extract an
> archive in either format, so in this way I think either format is fine, but I
> think matching what we release source in has a nice look.
