["Vinayakumar B (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11477?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14282197#comment-14282197 ] 

Vinayakumar B commented on HADOOP-11477:
----------------------------------------

bq. 3 of the main links in the menu are "buy stuff for money", "give us free money" and "thanks for giving us free money" but no source code...
The downloaded tarball from [here|http://hadoop.apache.org/releases.html#Download] includes the source codes in form of source jars.

'Version control' is mainly helpful for the people who are willing to build hadoop on their own and/or contribute to apache hadoop.

You can find the details of building and contributing in this page.
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute

Hope this helps.

> There used to be a "Version Control" section on the homepage but that seems to be gone. One can still be found via Google but that points to SVN (also: Today I learned that Hadoop has moved to Git)
> It'd be good if we could get a prominent link back.
