Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-11087:
------------------------------------
bq. This makes it very small and unpacking Solr would take only a second then
(currently unzipping all those small static files is a mess).
Solr no longer unzips a war since long time ago?
I did not go down that route now because it sounds very much more invasive. But
I like it a lot, and it would give us much more control over everything,
including the naming of Java options such as {{jetty.port}} which we could now
rename to {{solr.port}} etc. Guess this is how our Test framework constructs
Jetty instances already.
I'm in no hurry with this. If you have time to mock up a refactoring to get rid
of the dependence of all jars being in {{WEB-INF/lib}} and instead pick them
from {{/dist}} then that would be perfect and achieve two goals in one :-)
> Get rid of jar duplicates in release

> Key: SOLR-11087

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Fix For: master (8.0), 7.1

> Attachments: SOLR-11087.patch

> Sub task of SOLR-6806
> The {{dist/}} folder contains many duplicate jar files, totalling 10,5M:
> {noformat}
> 4,6M ./dist/solr-core-6.6.0.jar (WEB-INF/lib)
> 1,2M ./dist/solr-solrj-6.6.0.jar (WEB-INF/lib)
> 4,7M ./dist/solrj-lib/* (WEB-INF/lib and server/lib/ext)
> {noformat}
> The rest of the files in dist/ are contrib jars and test-framework.
> To weed out the duplicates and save 10,5M, we can simply add a
> {{dist/README.md}} file listing what jar files are located where. The file
> could also contain a bash one-liner to copy them to the dist folder. Another
> possibility is to ship the binary release tarball with symlinks in the dist
> folder, and advise people to use {{cp -RL dist mydist}} which will make a
> copy with the real files. Downside is that this won't work for ZIP archives
> that do not preserve symlinks, and neither on Windows.
