------------------------------------
Linking to HIVE-5107 since we will probably be done with maven.
> Hive needs to provide source only releases
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-4731
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4731
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0
> Reporter: Alan Gates
>
> Hive's official release currently includes binaries such as jars. This is
> actually counter to Apache policy. Hive should instead be producing a source
> only (no binaries, no jars) release. It is free to also provide a
> convenience package that includes the compiled jars, but this is not the
> official release.
