As a representative of a project that wants to embed this library in our app and is dealing with options for including the httpclient.jar or requiring a separate download, I would like to request a release package that includes only the binaries. No source, no javadoc, no tests, no build scripts.
The reason is that I want to support people who already have the httpclient library, but also streamline adoption by people who don't. That means making a jar available that they can download, drop in the classpath, and forget about. I am currently leaning towards pointing users to the HttpClient download page instead of including a binary-only release on our page.

I just want to provide a single release package. This package would contain most everything in cvs, plus the generated api and website. Some exceptions would be some of the unmaintained files (like PROPOSAL.html), the xdocs which would be unneeded, and the maven stuff which is not widely used at the moment.
This single release package would be put on the usual jakarta and apache release sites plus the jar file which would be put on ilibibo for maven use.
Requirements for a release package:
-can use out of the box
-has complete documentation
-can compile the src/java tree out of the box (with ant)
-has the apache license
-only contains apache products governed by the license
-can compile and run the tests (with libraries present)
