That would be fine. > But we could not simply have a binary distribution and a source distribution. That would also work, but would require binary users to download both archives. == On a separate matter, I question whether the current packaging is optimal. There appear to be 3 copies of every jar in the binary zip file - no wonder the file is so large! Also, many of the included jars are commonly used elsewhere, so the consumer may well already have a copy. Generally, the binary jar consists of the compiled source files only. Some projects provide additional bundles which include all the required dependencies; that might be the way to go here. > Karl > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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
