Well I won't say it's standard Apache practice in my experience. I've made =
probably over a dozen releases in about 3+ different Apache projects so far=
 (Nutch, Tika, SIS) and I've always put out a plain-text version of CHANGES=
.txt and KEYS alongside the release artifacts. The advantage of doing so is=
 that I don't have to download a 140 MB file before I can check what change=
s are part of the release.=20

Also one of the things that Clutch checks in the Incubator is that there is=
 a KEYS file in the distribution area, separate of the release artifacts. S=
o, I would say it should be there.

Thanks for the pointer. I'd like to see the source and binary tarballs sepa=
rated. Strictly speaking, you really only need a source release, but it's u=
p to you guys I think if you want to provide a binary one too. The advantag=
e is that the source release is likely much smaller I'm guessing than the b=
inary.

Cheers,
Chris
