You must NOT consider github as the official channel to distibute packages, it is not the official "storage" space for dolibarr archives. We changed several times of CVS system and we may change again. Also file produce bu github is not "ready" for tools making autoinstaller (like debian). Official tgz produced by our building package service is.
Also, official storage spaces must be owned by the foundation and not by github (currently they are saved into a directory "stable" on dolibarr foundation server and mirrored on sourceforge that is our "download" cache server). And we must have full control of what we distribute (both source package to use for os distribution packager and autoinstaller packages). 2014-08-08 9:27 GMT+02:00 Doursenaud, Raphaël <rdoursen...@gpcsolutions.fr>: > Well, that's weird, because we already have the "Download ZIP" feature in > GitHub for this use case. > > I thought the tar archive was an alternate (or reference) version of the > zip (that's better suited for deployment from non windows OSes btw). > > The dev and build folders, while presenting no interest to the end-user, > are in the zip still.
