We might consider building separate source release and binary releases, following the example from lucene: http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/
The src release wouldn't be substantially different from what we currently distribute as the main release, while the binary release would include everything included in the source releases with the exception of the sources and the addition of the jars. Wrapping the jars up into a single bundle with examples and accompanying documentation would be a nice step forward, currently each of the artifacts must be downloaded independently. <http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/>Drew On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Jake Mannix <[email protected]> wrote: > So another thought on this: should we just provide jars as part of a > distribution > via a simple link on lucene.apache.org/mahout? > > So that people don't need to build from source? > > I mean, if we want to include artifacts, why not just put them on the site > for download? > > -jake > > On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 10:33 AM, Drew Farris <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > +1 here too -- I opened > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-215to > > track it. > > > > On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 11:55 AM, F.Ozgur Catak <[email protected] > > >wrote: > > > > > +1 :) > > > > > > On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 6:48 PM, Jake Mannix <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > > > On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 7:58 AM, Isabel Drost <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > On Tue Sean Owen <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > Yeah I think we should just include the .jars next time for > > > > > > convenience. > > > > > > > > > > +1 > > > > > > > > > > > > > +1 from me as well. > > > > > > > > -jake > > > > > > > > > >
