How does one build the binary archive from the source archive? And what dependencies need to be available? This needs to be documented in the source archive in the README or a BUILDING file. If the process is already described fully elsewhere within the source archive, then the README can point to that documentation, e.g. "To build the binary archive, see section 10.3 in the file xyz.pdf." But if the instructions are simple and short, it might be helpful to extract them to a BUILDING file. That should probably mention where to find the installation instructions. > Regards, > Shankar > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
