[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-6247) artifacts are half a gigabyte

["Robert Muir (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6247?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14321404#comment-14321404 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6247:
-------------------------------------

The first thing to fix is the embedded javadocs in the binary release.

I love how the esoteric cases love to pop out from trying to do this: "but i dont have an internet connection, i'm on a secure network, blah blah". World's smallest violin is playing: you guys can run 'ant javadocs'. Very simple. Everyone else can read them online.

I am going to repeat for the last time: We shouldnt include these tens of thousands of files in our binary releases when they just bloat them for all users, when most do not need it.

> This is a growing problem and now, its spun out of control.
> The latest release artifacts are half a gigabyte. sorry, I am against adding more retries to the smoke tester and continuing down the same path (LUCENE-6231).
> Instead I open this blocker issue to discuss fixing this. Whenever i tried to fix it before (e.g. removing zips), people complained at me "what are you trying to fix" and wouldn't let me minimize it in the slightest.
> Now the problem is clear, we have a blocker issue to discuss it.
