Ryan Ernst commented on LUCENE-6247:
------------------------------------
I've already given my +1 to removal of javadoc. Regarding the other two ideas:
I am in favor of removing zip, and only leaving tgz. I did a quick survey of
other apache projects. A number I looked at only released with tgz (hadoop,
couchdb, cassandra, cordova). Others I looked at were the main httpd project,
which released source as tgz but binary as zip, and Harmony which had both tgz
and zip. Flex and Geronimo also released zip and labelled as "windows" and tgz
and labelled it for mac and linux. IMO, if someone cannot handle extracting a
tgz on windows, they can't handle running Solr.
For removing dependencies, I'm in favor of this:
bq. We can have the build emit information to a .txt or whatever describing
exactly which versions we have tested (for people not using a dependency
manager to get these artifacts from maven).

> Key: LUCENE-6247
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6247
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 5.0
>
>
> This is a growing problem and now, its spun out of control.
> The latest release artifacts are half a gigabyte. sorry, I am against adding
> more retries to the smoke tester and continuing down the same path
> (LUCENE-6231).
> Instead I open this blocker issue to discuss fixing this. Whenever i tried to
> fix it before (e.g. removing zips), people complained at me "what are you
> trying to fix" and wouldn't let me minimize it in the slightest.
> Now the problem is clear, we have a blocker issue to discuss it.
