But seriously: be realistic. Those people building the releases from
will have subversion on their machine. And what can be simpler than a
one-liner to checkout the sources? Even downloading it from an apache
mirror is more work.
People may have subversion but may not be able to use it.
For example, I cannot use svn (nor cvs for that matter) through my
corporate firewall.
Wait a sec - you cannot use http from your development machine?
When I need a package that is only available by
checking out from its repository, I have to check it out from home,
put
it on an USB stick and copy it the next day at work. It is very
inconvenient.
That's a truly sad story ...but we cannot provide a good solution for
every awkward workplace.
What would you think - how many percent of the developers that
require to build a project from the source have no http access to the
internet? Well, for jci I will personally send them a tar of the
checkout - if they have email :-p
cheers
