Re: [DISCUSS] Combine windows and unix distros
Hi Jim,
Yeah, its does add stuff to each distribution but its a really small
difference. Less than 1MB in either case IIRC. Guess we don't HAVE to make
this change, but I'm still for it :-) Anyone else have a preference either
way?
Cheers,
Jon

Sounds fair enough. I wanted consensus before committing this and there
have been two -1's already so I'll close the issue as won't fix.

Re: [DISCUSS] Combine windows and unix distros

so then -1
Ok so if we go with the 1 zip solution then Windows user cant use Notepad
to edit config files and Unix users will need to chmod a+x their bin
scripts. Sound like loss of ease of use to both types of users.
We already went through the trouble of setting up the 2 distros to give the
end user a better experience. I'd rather not dumb it down at the expense
of the end user experience.

Re: [DISCUSS] Combine windows and unix distros
Posted by Jon Anstey <ja...@gmail.com>.
Nothing really wrong with having 2 different distros. It's just simpler IMO
to have one set of files to manage and get right, rather than testing 2
different sets of files.
Full disclosure: I'm making this change as part of JBoss Fuse
http://fusesource.com/issues/browse/ENTMQ-262 so its not really a
requirement here at Apache. Just would make my life easier :-)
Cheers,
Jon
