Andreas Veithen updated AXIS-2453:
----------------------------------
Component/s: Distribution
> Reduce size of archive files
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS-2453
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2453
> Project: Axis
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Distribution
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Reporter: Sebb
> Fix For: 1.4.1
>
>
> The zip files for the binary and source releases of Axis 1.3 are 11MB and
> 18MB, which is rather large - in particular the source zip.
> The source archive seems to include pretty well everything in the binary
> archive, as well as the source itself.
> Is this really necessary? It contains a lot of class files, which surely
> aren't needed in the source archive - indeed nor are the axis jars.
> Both archives have two copies of all the jars, one in lib/, and the other
> under webapps/ - would it not be possible to have just the one copy?
> Similarly for the samples - there are two copies of the class files, one
> under samples/, and the other under webapps/
> May I suggest that all class files and jars are removed from the source
> archive?
> This would reduce the size to about 9MB. Removing the Javadoc as well would
> bring it down to a reasonable 4MB.
> Removing the duplicate class and jar files from the binary archive would
> bring it down to about 9MB; it could be made a bit smaller by removing the
> sample directories.
> It might be worth considering releasing the Javadoc as a separate archive, as
> it is about 5MB on its own.
