Thanks to Ben's recent efforts to get the SVN repo up to date with github, and in line with his encouragement to start using SVN/git-svn for development going forward, I just updated the documentation at https://github.com/mesos/mesos/wiki for how to download Mesos. The updated section now reads: Downloading Mesos
We are actively working on our first official Apache release. Currently, you can obtain Mesos (the current development HEAD) by checking it out from either the Apache SVN or Apache Git repository (the git repo is a mirror of the SVN repo) - For SVN, use: svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/mesos/trunk mesos-trunk - For git, use: git clone git://git.apache.org/mesos.git NOTES: The Apache SVN repository is the definitive spot for the source code now. For alpha version 0.4 and before, you can still download tagged “alpha releases” from github via the tags page<https://github.com/mesos/mesos/tags>. However, we do not recommend using the Github repository hosted under the mesos user (e.g. git://github.com/mesos/mesos.git) any longer. Though it is a little confusing, Apache also maintains a github clone of the SVNrepository at https://github.com/apache/mesos, which should be fine to use as an alternative to the SVN and git apache.org repositories listed above (though the committers don’t use it). ----------- What do people think of the new wording? Also, we could consider making the github.com/mesos/mesos repo private to minimize the confusion (which the big NOTE above tries to explain to folks) and avoid us having to figure out a strategy to keep it syned with the apache repos. However, if we did that we would lose the history and the tags (we lost the tags in the move to SVN and I don't think we can re-create an equivalent svn tag to the github/mesos/mesos alpha 0.4 tag either). I'm super excited to be moving more towards the Apache way, and I know Ben and the rest of the team is too! Andy
