where's the source code package?
Hello,
I'm about to rebuild Maven from scratch and I start to wonder how I'm
about to get
Maven's source code?
Is it really true that those Maven guys want me to use Subversion? Is it
not common
practice to provide a source code package?
There's no problem with Subversion as such - it's rather that I'm behind a
rather
restrictive Firewall where I can't change the settings ..
Regards,
Wolfgang.

I agree - although I have absolutely nothing against svn of course, or
having it available online, but I think having an 'src' package is a
must for every project. It's the quickest way to go if you only want to
view stuff - especially if you need to take it to some offline location
(laptop, or closed-circuit network, like where I work).

It's not about manually downloading or not. It's about having a source code
package (zip, tgz etc) which can be simply downloaded, using wget or by some
other means.
What I don't like is this:
1. I'm required to have `svn' installed. Most guys do not have it but all of
us have zip, gzip etc.
2. `svn' causes quite some problems if you are behind a firewall. No problem
if you can change the firewall - but what to do if you can't?
Finally I got around the problems by compiling `svn' with SSL support. The
efforts for finally getting maven's source using the `clumsy' svn way were
quite heavy, especially compared to a simple
wget http://.../maven-src-1.0.2.tgz

What do you find clumsy about it?
I like it. Whether I have a script that does a svn co or a wget (for other
products), either is faster than manually downloading.
Partciularly, svn maintains the user workspace, removing no longer needed
files. I find it the easiest and fastest manner.

This works to get around the firewall I'm behind but may not work in
general.
It works but it's damned clumsy. What's the reason for just not
providing a source package?
Cheers,
Wolfgang.

Yes, you need to use subversion for obtain sources. You can set up
subversion to pass through firewall
