Re: [DISCUSS] Release Geronimo Eclipse Plugin 2.1.0 (RC1)

[Donald Woods]

We need them in our server releases to properly preserve the directory/file attributes, keep the scripts marked as executable and to keep line endings on text files correct for Unix/Linux.

    Not sure how creating a tar.gz makes it easier, given unzip is
    provided with most Linux distros (like RHEL, Fedora, SLED/SELS,
    openSUSE,  ....), on MacOSX and most Unix distros (though maybe as
    an optional package, like on AIX.)

Makes me wonder why we have tar.gz distributions in our server releases!!

    I'd prefer staying with zipfiles only.

        Hi Tim,

        We should at least have a tar.gz distribution corresponding to
        geronimo-eclipse-plugin-xxx-deployable.zip so that it is easy
        for linux users who want to do a manual installation of GEP.

           Hi Vamsi, I've opened a new feature JIRA to determine if it makes
           sense to actually release a tar.gz artifact. As far as I
        know, the
           Eclipse update sites only handle zipfiles, so I'm not
        comfortable at
           this time releasing a tar.gz artifact for GEP 2.1.0.
        <http://2.1.0.> <http://2.1.0.>

           However, we shall determine the implications for the next GEP
           release, and if reasonable will do so. Thanks for the suggestion

               To add on, I would love to see these tar.gz distributions
        in GEP
               2.1.0 release itself if adding these does not amount to a
        lot of
               work.
