Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2298:
--------------------------------------
We could provide an ant target that builds a binary tarball, but still release
the compound tarball. Folks could then run the binary-only target from within
a release if they want to build a binary-only tarball. Might that suffice?
Producing only a single file per release simplifies things. But we don't want
users to have to recompile releases, and writing a binary-only tarball target
that doesn't recompile might be tricky. I don't yet have a strong sense about
the best way to proceed...
> ant target without source and docs

> Can we have an ant target or a -D option to build the hadoop tar without the
> source and documentation? This brings down the tar size from 11.5 MB to 5.6
> MB. This would speed up distribution.
