----------------------------------
Summary: Cut binary releases down to a single format
Key: LUCENE-6258
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6258
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ryan Ernst
In LUCENE-6247, one idea discussed to decrease the size of release artifacts
was removing either tgz or zip from our binary releases.
The source releases are already only in tgz. I think we should do the same for
binary releases. I looked at a number of other Apache projects, and the
results are mixed, but there definitely are many major projects (hadoop,
couchdb, cassandra, cordova) that only release tgz. Anyone who can deal with
running using Lucene or Solr should have the skills necessary to extract an
archive in either format, so in this way I think either format is fine, but I
think matching what we release source in has a nice look.
