OK. Just to make sure we're in sync, there are two issues: 1) archive within an archive. 2) redundant archives within an archive. Here are the contents of imperius-cimspl-1.0.0.zip: -rw-r--r-- 11560 1-Dec-2009 10:50:42 LICENSE.txt -rw-r--r-- 314 1-Dec-2009 10:50:42 NOTICE.txt -rw-r--r-- 2547 1-Dec-2009 10:50:42 README.txt -rw-r--r-- 21463 1-Dec-2009 10:49:34 imperius-cimspl-1.0.0-samples-bin.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 29087 1-Dec-2009 10:49:34 imperius-cimspl-1.0.0-samples-bin.zip -rw-r--r-- 528568 1-Dec-2009 10:50:30 imperius-cimsplclientsideprovider-1.0.0-bin.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 610817 1-Dec-2009 10:50:28 imperius-cimsplclientsideprovider-1.0.0-bin.zip -rw-r--r-- 514685 1-Dec-2009 10:49:34 imperius-cimsplprovider-1.0.0-bin.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 592927 1-Dec-2009 10:49:34 imperius-cimsplprovider-1.0.0-bin.zip So, there are .zip and tar.gz archives for every artifact. I have no fundamental problem with either of these. Both are a non-standard (which is fine). If this format makes sense for the community, I'm fine with that... > > I can fix the difference between build.xml (tag version and uploaded > artifact) and start a new vote. Cool. --kevan
