While trying to bring up hadoop 0.21 from source, I noted that there is a bunch of duplicate files between the projects. The config directory for example. Also hadoop-mapreduce seems to build webapps/datanode for some reason (?!)
I agree that there are still some rough edges with the project- split, something we are working to solve.
Someone on irc mentioned using 'ant tar', but it seems to be currently broken, since it (a) requires forrest and (b) forrest fails to build the docs on OSX 10.6.1, complaining about some datatype nonsense. What is the new standard for building a distribution?
AFAIK the only issue with the 'ant docs' target (which 'ant target' relies on) is that you need java1.5 - if you can confirm this isn't the case would you mind opening a jira?
