Bret McGuire commented on CASSJAVA-119:
---------------------------------------
Note: there's been a [fair amount of
discussion|https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/C05LPRVNZV1/p1762413734922669]
around the change to the source tarball for downloads on ASF Slack
> Remove the binary tarball
> -------------------------
>
> Key: CASSJAVA-119
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSJAVA-119
> Project: Apache Cassandra Java driver
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Bret McGuire
> Priority: Normal
>
> Our primary deployment mechanism is via Maven but we still make a tarball
> available via the [Cassandra downloads
> page|https://cassandra.apache.org/_/download.html]. For the Java driver this
> was originally downloading the binary tarball but we recently noticed that
> the contents of said binary tarball were (a) less than useful and (b) not
> even consistent across versions. As a result we've recently [changed this
> link|https://github.com/apache/cassandra-website/pull/304] to download the
> source tarball... meaning the binary tarball isn't really needed anymore.
>
> We should remove the infrastructure in the Maven build supporting the binary
> tarball. Basically if it isn't involved in creating the source tarball or
> artifacts for Maven Central we don't really need it.
