Henri Yandell closed COMMONSSITE-24.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Over time this becomes less of a problem and no one has worked on this (at least on the ticket, I do feel that people have been fixing things on the list in this area but could be mistaken).

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE-24
>             Project: Commons All
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Commons Build
>            Reporter: nicolas de loof
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Following discution on dev list, 
> Many commons-* artifacts in maven "central" repository have no  -sources.jar bundle, that is VERY usefull for developers as Maven download them and attch to project classpath for debugging.
> Those jars can be created from existing source distribution available at http://archives.apache.org
> Curt Arnold has created an Ant script to download them and re-package as -source.jars, and including the required legal files (LICENSE & NOTICE).
> The only issue is for old releases that used Apache license 1.1. Depending if you consider repackaging source distribution to be a NEW release, it MUST follow ASL 2.0 conventions (NOTICE & LICENSE file, source files HEADER ...) so requires some changes on sources and become useless for debugging purpose (as line numbers will not match !)
