[jira] [Commented] (GEODE-826) source dist information text files are wrong

["Anthony Baker (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-826?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15112639#comment-15112639 ] 

Anthony Baker commented on GEODE-826:
-------------------------------------

One thing we could consider is using the gradlew script from bigtop:
https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/gradlew

Naming-wise, let's drop the .txt extensions and using 'BUILDING' instead of 'COMPILING'.

>             Project: Geode
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: build
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0-incubating.M1
>            Reporter: Dick Cavender

> After extracting the apache-geode-src-1.0.0-incubating.M1.zip source dist the instructions in the COMPILING.txt file says to run gradlew to build but gradlew isn't (and can't) be included in the source dist. 
> We likely need a separate set of top level instruction file that are specific to each distribution where a common one doesn't work. 
> There is also an inconsistency in file types as we COMPILING.txt and RUNNING.txt have a txt extension  the README.md is different and the NOTICE has no extension.
