Actually, clicking on that link ust provides a link to an HTML view of

the source so I could build it.
Yes that's right. Do you need info on *how* to download the source code
for the project, in addition to *where* to download it?
If that is the case then we have these two pages:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html
http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html
Perhaps we should add a link to one or both of these pages to the
commons site navigation template? Questions on how to download the
source from version control pops up every now and then, especially for
products that have not yet had a release.

dennis: could you contribute a patch?
I had a look at this and was puzzled for a while. Looking at the
commons-logging site there is a link to
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html
under "Jakarta Community" in the menu. But when I tried building it with
Maven I didn't get the menu item.
It turns out that skitching removed that menu item from commons-build at
2005-05-23 (revision #172281). The commit message was
"Remove link to jakarta repository info in jakarta community navbar
section. This information is too generic for commons users; the links
available from the commons site are more useful/targetted."
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. There is a link to that page from the
Jakarta page (http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html). 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).
OK then, here's a patch that adds a menu item "Using SVN" under "General
Information" menu. The link goes to the Apache page.
