OK, I'm going to merge this so that I can trigger a build to stage and open a pre-vote PR for testing. > In an ideal world this all would not exist and the libs would be built with the main build Yes, but this would rely on a) having cross-compiling on all OS to build for all OS, or b) accepting that the end user can only build the primary source release for their own architecture. Well, there's also c) - allow a mix of building and downloading, but that causes a whole bunch of chicken and egg things out of sync - we've been there with the Windows launcher and it's a release headache I'd rather not repeat. TL;DR - there is no "ideal world" here, just different compromises. :smile: -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
