That seems an unusual approach to building the src. It also means that to build the complete 0.8.0 release which contains 60 something modules would require manually typing in over 400 commands which is not very practical, i doubt anyone who voted +1 for the release actually did that. I think an ASF release like this should have also had a single source distribution that contained all the source for all those modules along with a build script to build them, and IMHO your mentors should have helped you do that. Would you consider doing another release like this before you graduate?
