Description

The source-release-assembly execution of the maven-assembly-plugin doesn't offer any way to specify to build a tarball (tar.gz) only. By default, it builds a zip file.

One can override the plugin execution to force it to build both a zip and a tarball, by setting sourceReleaseAssemblyDescriptor to "source-release-zip-tar".

However, there's no way to get it to build only the tarball, unless you do convoluted things like in this example, or if you override the apache-release profile entirely.
