nightlies vs release: two files

2011-04-14 Thread Peter Lynch
The nightlies require unzipping two files to make a usable runtime as
described here http://people.apache.org/builds/jakarta-jmeter/nightly/ .

Is it correct to assume that the a final release will just be one
distributable?

Sort of.

There is a binary dist and a source dist, and each is available as zip
and tar.gz, so there are actually 4 archives (plus hashes and sigs).

However only one binary is needed to run JMeter.

Here is the download page:

2011-04-14 Thread Peter Lynch
I'm trying to understand why the nightlies have a _bin.zip and _lib.zip
instead of just a single .zip like the official 2.4 release did.

I know the _lib.zip contains the third party jars and _bin.zip contains
everything else - but why not a single .zip like the official release?
