             Summary: Cut binary releases down to a single format
                 Key: LUCENE-6258
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6258
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ryan Ernst


In LUCENE-6247, one idea discussed to decrease the size of release artifacts was removing either tgz or zip from our binary releases.

The source releases are already only in tgz.  I think we should do the same for binary releases.  I looked at a number of other Apache projects, and the results are mixed, but there definitely are many major projects (hadoop, couchdb, cassandra, cordova) that only release tgz. Anyone who can deal with running using Lucene or Solr should have the skills necessary to extract an archive in either format, so in this way I think either format is fine, but I think matching what we release source in has a nice look.
