It's basically nothing more than a snapshot of svn at the time of the release. People who want to modify and develop the C code, could use 'src/c' in the tarball or use svn directly. However, people who just want to simply use/consumer the C implementation without any hassle would use the avro-c-x.x.x.tar.gz package. Package maintainers would also use this pristine tarball as a basis for packaging as well. -Matt > > Doug >
