Building from SVN

[MartinZaidel]

Just a quick newbie question:  I've checked the 1.0-RC1 source out of SVN (via 'svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/directory/trunks'), and then tried
'mvn install' only to get build failures (sometimes compile breaks, sometimes test failures).  I realize there have been substantial versioning changes recently, so I'd just like to know:

1. Is my process correct or am I missing a step?
2. Is there a recent snapshot (a nightly or continuous integration build or something similar) that I could grab, rather than trying to hit a moving repository target?

thanks,
