Archive Ver. possible ?

[ElyasX]

Hi,

i just have a Question for my knowledge .. 

why phonegap and cordova ( separate [Phonegap.com // Cordova.apache.org] ) didnt serve any archive (zip file) of their versions , and moved on CLI downloading and developing app ? 

is there any better reason to do that ? 

and last Q : if i zip the CLI downloaded TEST or created App by my self , is that a standard Archive ? OR .. ver can i download the latest ver. by Archive ? 

MyQuestion is beacuase i cant download the Package via CLI .. 

Thanks ..
