Sorry, I just noticed this response that was posted a few days ago and I
thought it needed addressing.
Varuna, the answer to your question is that you most likely want the
file ant-current-bin.zip. That contains the zipped-up compiled version
of ant that you can run as soon as you have unzipped it. If you prefer
ant delivered with a different type of compression, such as tar.gz, you
can find it in the binaries directory.
The files ending with .asc, .md5, and .sha are signatures to verify that
the compressed file hasn't been tampered with. If you don't know what
they are, you don't need them. The ant-current-src.zip file contains the
source code for Ant, but unless you plan on making programming changes
to Ant then you won't need that either.
As for supareno's response, I have two issues. First, I do not see where
in the manual Varuna's question is answered, not even here[1]. We should
probably address this. Secondly, can I ask that we treat everyone with
respect on this list? Not everyone was born with the knowledge of what
different file extensions represent, and not all Ant users are
programmers. Thanks.
