Hi,
At https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7783 we recently had a
discussion with Taher about doing or not binary releases.
This is how the ASF defines a binary release
(http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what)
<<All releases are in the form of the source materials needed to make changes to the software being released. In some cases, binary/bytecode packages
are also produced as a convenience to users that might not have the appropriate tools to build a compiled version of the source. In all such cases,
the binary/bytecode package must have the same version number as the source release and may only add binary/bytecode files that are the result of
compiling that version of the source code release.>>
So the question is simple (not the answer, you need to think ahead): do we want to do binary releases? It comes with some burden, does it worth it? No
needs to rush an answer :)
If you want more information you can already look at the conversation we had
Pierre, Taher and I at OFBIZ-7783
Thanks
Jacques
