well spotted 8-) > Should we put it back again? i remember now :) now we're using subversion, it's better to have more specific links at the component level rather than generic ones. but we've managed to lose links to any information about how to use subversion. > As for actually checking stuff out of the source repository I think the > Apache page is more informative.

So perhaps > one link is enough? we've been trying to migrate as much useful material from the jakarta to the foundation site as possible. perhaps just a link to the apache page in the general information section would be best: 'Using SVN' (or something like that). - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
