Download a tar ball with a download manager seems to be easier, despite the size. Further, I believe, casual developers often refrain from downloading the source as they dont know svn tricks. My problem is a slow network connection. I have tried downloading via svn but it just freezes after downloading few initial files. :-( I'm just dying to get my hands dirty with Harmony code, but couldnt do so for past few weeks. It would be great if you guys can put up bzip/tar file.

I did briefly look at adding a source snapshot to the snapshot target but decided that trying to avoid picking up any non-source files was too error prone and that the only reliable way to make them is to take a clean checkout. While looking at this, I wondered about whether the source snapshot should include .svn directories. Having them might be useful to get the initial checkout that people could then update. However, the .svn directories do account for some 135M my harmony tree which comes to around 18M for a "gzip -9" tar - approximately double the size. Regards, Mark.
