Hi folks. Three issues that have come up: 1. Why are the jarfiles that are produced by our ant-based build process compressed while those produced by the make-based process aren't? We need to resolve this inconsistency and come down on one side of the fence or the other. Which do people feel is more important: performance or file size? 2. Do we really need to keep archives of every Xerces-1 release around in our dists directory? Each release gobbles up 12 mb; is it reasonable for us to dispose of all releases pre-1.2.0, say? 3. Should we also supply RPM'd packages if such are made available from a trusted source? Is there a demand for RPM's and would having them on apache make people's lives substantially easier? For what it's worth, here's my $0.02: 1. Take the size hit; our performance is slow enough and folks who care that much about 500k of disk space won't want to use us for all sorts of reasons anyway. 2. I vote to blow away some of the ancient releases (though I don't have any firm idea about the number); 3. Since someone else ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has offered to do the RPM'ing, I'm all for it. :-) Cheers, Neil Neil Graham XML Parser Development IBM Toronto Lab Phone: 416-448-3519, T/L 778-3519 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
