Hi Andrzej, Sure, I'm just trying to address Sami's comments. I think in the past we used to include a binary in the Nutch release too, but this time I just created a source tarball and zip. I think it's better because it cuts down on the size of the release, and more consistent with other projects that just release source.
As for the tutorial, I'm happy to update it to add e.g., the few lines that say OK now you have to build Nutch from source instead of just getting the huge hunkin' release. I don't expect it to be a huge update which is why I didn't raise a big objection (and I don't think you are either if I'm reading it correctly). I'm happy to cut another release with these minor updates (to the tutorial and including Sami's commit that added license headers to like 5 of the files that were missing them) -- however I don't think we should let this drag on for a long time. In the interest of getting out a 1.1, I'll try and push out rc2 today and if folks have time (especially those like you and Sami that voted) it would be great to get a check of the rc within the next few days or so if possible so that I can push this forward. I appreciate the help!

I'm ot against, but the instructions should be clear, and if ant downloads stuff then an active Internet connection is a requirement too. -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Senior Computer Scientist NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 171-266B, Mailstop: 171-246 Email: [email protected] WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
