> The following jarfiles are present in the source drop of 1.2 alpha:
> ./lib/axis-ant.jar
> ./lib/axis.jar
> ./lib/commons-discovery.jar
> ./lib/commons-logging.jar
> ./lib/jaxrpc.jar
> ./lib/log4j-1.2.8.jar
> ./lib/saaj.jar
> ./lib/wsdl4j.jar
> ./test/lib/jakarta-oro-2.0.5.jar
> ./test/lib/xmlunit1.0.jar
> ./tools/org/apache/axis/tools/ant/foreach/bsf.jar
> ./tools/org/apache/axis/tools/ant/foreach/js.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/axis-ant.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/axis.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/commons-discovery.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/commons-logging.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/jaxrpc.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.8.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/saaj.jar
> ./webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/wsdl4j.jar
> First off, the duplicated files are not symlinked, so a duplication of data 
> does indeed occur.
> Secondly, it is unfortunate that the source tarball contains pre-built 
> binaries in the first place, as these can easily be obtained from the 
> binary-drop itself.
> I am packaging this for the Gentoo Linux distribution 
> (http://www.gentoo.org), which is a source-based distribution where all 
> packages are built from source code at installation time.
> Naturally, we have separate packages for all the auxiliary jar-files above 
> that we maintain separately. 
> May I be so bold as to request that you also release a stripped-down source 
> tarball which only contains the source code for axis, leaving out the 
> prebuild axis.jar and all external jarfiles, as these can easily be obtained 
> from the pre-built binary tarball that you also release?
