Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2298: -------------------------------------- The conventional way to do this is to generate separate source and binary distribution files, including both in releases. > This would speed up distribution. Is the speed of release distribution really a bottleneck? > ant target without source and docs > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2298 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Reporter: Gautam Kowshik > > Can we have an ant target or a -D option to build the hadoop tar without the > source and documentation? This brings down the tar size from 11.5 MB to 5.6 > MB. This would speed up distribution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
