Hi, I observed that following files in the source download apache-tomcat-6.0.14- src.tar.gz apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/tomcat6.exe apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/tomcat6w.exe do not work. However, the same files in apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src.zip do work properly. On Linux I expended the zip file in apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src-zip and tar.gz in apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src then diffed the content: bash-3.1$ diff -bBr --brief apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src- zip Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/native/connector/os/win32/logmessages.bin and apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src-zip/native/connector/os/win32/logmessages.bin differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/amd64/tomcat6.exe and apache-tomcat- 6.0.14-src-zip/res/procrun/amd64/tomcat6.exe differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/amd64/tomcat6w.exe and apache- tomcat-6.0.14-src-zip/res/procrun/amd64/tomcat6w.exe differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/ia64/tomcat6.exe and apache-tomcat- 6.0.14-src-zip/res/procrun/ia64/tomcat6.exe differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/ia64/tomcat6w.exe and apache-tomcat- 6.0.14-src-zip/res/procrun/ia64/tomcat6w.exe differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/tomcat6.exe and apache-tomcat- 6.0.14-src-zip/res/procrun/tomcat6.exe differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/res/procrun/tomcat6w.exe and apache-tomcat- 6.0.14-src-zip/res/procrun/tomcat6w.exe differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14- src/webapps/docs/architecture/requestProcess/requestProcess.pdf and apache- tomcat-6.0.14-src- zip/webapps/docs/architecture/requestProcess/requestProcess.pdf differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14- src/webapps/docs/architecture/startup/serverStartup.pdf and apache-tomcat- 6.0.14-src-zip/webapps/docs/architecture/startup/serverStartup.pdf differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/webapps/docs/tribes/leader-election-initiate- election.dia and apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src-zip/webapps/docs/tribes/leader- election-initiate-election.dia differ Files apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src/webapps/docs/tribes/leader-election-message- arrives.dia and apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src-zip/webapps/docs/tribes/leader- election-message-arrives.dia differ You will also observe that the 2 pdf in the tar.gz will not open without an error whereas the same files in the zip will open properly. I wonder if the problem starts in the dist.xml Ant script <target name="package-src-tgz"> <fixcrlf srcdir="${tomcat.dist}/src" excludes="**/*.jar,**/*.gif,**/*.bmp,**/*.jpg,**/*.ico,**/*.war" eol="lf"/> The exclude list should probably exclude also: pdf and exe (also .dia and .bin?) What do you think? Kind Regards, Fred
