Hi Cameleers, we're discussing binary distribution on two issues[1][2]. The binary distribution is the tar.gz/ZIP file linked from the Camel website. By ASF policy we only ship source code, and the binary distribution is optional.
Back in the dark days, before using build tools that knew about dependency management (Maven, Gradle...) folk used to use the binary distribution. I've found some statistics on downloads/per day, for us[3]/eu[4] and created these charts: https://s.apache.org/camel-dl-us https://s.apache.org/camel-dl-eu The data is over 2 and 1/4 years, we've had 19.7+-8.8 via US, and 20.24+-8.43 in via EU per day. So not that much IMHO. I'm wondering if anyone is still relying on these, and if so what would a binary distribution look like for sub projects? Should we do the same as we do for the Camel core? Please reply on this thread or chime in on those issues for sub-project specific concerns. Thanks :) zoran [1] https://github.com/apache/camel-quarkus/issues/2045 [2] https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/issues/754 [3] https://www-us.apache.org/dyn/stats/camel.log [4] https://www-eu.apache.org/dyn/stats/camel.log -- Zoran Regvart
