Re: Wrong link not pointing to the release tarball

What I have seen while researching Fedora stuff is that some projects have
'-project' additional files (same artifact, with different classifier)
deployed to maven central in both zip and tgz format. As far as I can see,
it's pretty simple to achieve with assembly plugin. It even has predefined
'project' descriptor that can be useful.

Best regards, Vitalii Tymchyshyn
