I don't think there is such a rule in general.

{quote}So, +1 for closing this as invalid and opening a new issue to purge duplicate .jar artifacts from the update site for which a .jar.pack.gz artifact exists (making sure metadata is updated too!). Or +1 for renaming this issue.{quote}
IMO, let's just focus on other things that deliver more value. This kind of optimization doesn't provide much to users/contributors.


was (Author: nickboldt):
Disagree - zip should be smallest foot print needed for an offline install.

But a better solution would be to have the update site (and zip) contain ONLY the packed artifacts (except for cases where there is no pack.gz version of a jar due to an exclusion rule), so that BOTH the site and the zip are smaller... and also identical in content.

So, +1 for closing this as invalid and opening a new issue to purge duplicate .jar artifacts from the update site for which a .jar.pack.gz artifact exists (making sure metadata is updated too!). Or +1 for renaming this issue.

> JBDS 8.1.0.Beta1 update site zip is 524M and contains both packed (.pack.gz) and regular jars; no need to include both. Ideally we'd include ONLY the packed ones.
