Christopher Tubbs created MPOM-47: ------------------------------------- Summary: Source release assembly can't do tar.gz only Key: MPOM-47 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-47 Project: Maven POMs Issue Type: Improvement Components: asf Reporter: Christopher Tubbs Fix For: ASF-14
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|http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/accumulo/accumulo-project/1.5.0/accumulo-project-1.5.0.pom], or if you override the apache-release profile entirely. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
