Description
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?
