It seems redundant to include botha *.zip and a *.tar.gz build for each binary
distribution build. I propose that we drop the .zip archive and ship only
.tar.gz builds with the 0.13.0 distro. Other projects do this, eg. Spark and
Zeppelin. So there is precedent. If we did this, the archives that we would
ship would be something like the following:
apache-mahout-0.13.0.tar.gz: basic
jvm-only build (no native modules included)
apache-mahout-0.13.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz: GPU/OpenMP build for
Linux x86_64 (intel and amd)
apache-mahout-0.13.0-linux-x86_64-avx2.tar.gz: GPU/OpenMP build for
Linux x86_64
with AVX2 instruction sets (Intel haswell and > though there is also
an
AVX-512 which is newer, but I think that for now we can allow
people to build from src for that)
apache-mahout-0.13.0-mac_os.tar.gz: OpenMP only for
mac
Thoughts?
