I suggest you read the whole thread. The outcome was that it's OK to put jars in version control but not in a source release. This has been discussed several times on the incubator list and elsewhere. What most projects do is provide a script that a user can run to download the needed bits. I recall Roy having something to say it a while ago: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0d6952401efbd72efbeafc86ebabbf7267f6c9d2d59f32dd93b7d4db%401332868587%40%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E Thanks, Justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org
