Issues like https://ictjira.alma.cl/browse/ACS-3
could be completely avoided, if ACS release versions could be provided as tar balls.

In addition this whole documentation here:
https://confluence.alma.cl/display/ICTACS/Retrieving+ACS

would not be needed anymore, instead one could just have a link to the place where all the download links to the releases are shown.

Providing tar-balls for releases should not even need additional human work. common git platforms like github and gitlab bundle the project into a tarball for every release tag for you.
