[jira] [Commented] (FOR-1244) "Fat tar" for easier installation

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1244?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16571092#comment-16571092 ] 

David Crossley commented on FOR-1244:
-------------------------------------

Ah, no. That is the original convenience archive of the original 0.9 release.

We re-released later with two separate archives (the "*-sources.tar.gz" and the "*-dependencies.tar.gz" which are the [A] and [B] referred to above) as can be seen on our Downloads page and in that Homebrew formula.

We did not follow through as explained in the comment above to provide a new combined file [C].

This message today tries to summarise the history:

> I've been writing a Homebrew formula for installing Forrest onto Macs (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/24520).  Homebrew doesn't handle the two-tar-file structure of your distribution very well.  Can you publish a "fat-tar" file that combines the contents of both, in addition to the two independent ones?
