I think it's good to have both for longevity, and for the benefit of OS distributions and automated builds, zip is after all a confusingly defined format, and it is just a diff -ur to check their content is the same. It's not like we will have a very large download page :) (btw - could someone draft that? How is that done in Commons way? I remember something to watch out for is chmod +x on the cgi-bin..) What I wondered is why the proposed source distributions in dist.apache.org are not simply byte-wise equal to the -src in https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-1095/org/apache/commons/commons-rdf-parent/0.1.0-incubating/ ? (and why does that folder contain bout -src and -source-release.zip?) (Don't worry, the files inside it are byte-equal to the ones in the proposed release archives - except that -source.zip also contains the harmless examples/ folder) -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating), Apache Commons RDF (incubating) http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
