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
