Intertesting notes....
source + docs (like we normally do it).
~ 9825878 10-10 14:38 samba-3.0.1pre1.tar.bz2
~ 11086756 10-10 14:37 samba-3.0.1pre1.tar.gz
removing the docs/ directory and packaging it
separately.
~ 2495669 10-10 14:42 samba-3.0.1pre1.tar.bz2
~ 3196113 10-10 14:42 samba-3.0.1pre1.tar.gz
Pretty compelling stuff I think since most people
would grab the source+docs initially and then be more
interesting in the source only. Also could split
the RedHat RPMS like this and save space as well.
Save ~8Mb per download on a a release is pretty
compelling to me.
cheers, jerry
