This may be slightly related to Hernan's wiki thread but since we were talking about G for the impatient and a newbie manual, thought I'd ask this.
Dave Klavon was talking about a single download and setup of all prereqsand G source, and build it too. I liked that idea andthinkthat would be
-1 from me. I could possibly understand the JDK, but definatley not
svn, maven, and CVS.

We could not ship the SDK (which is required to build the code) but we
could in theory ship the others.
You'd still need to worry about integrating them into the OS though,
so I'd suggest we just keep pointing the users to instructions for
CVS, SVN and Maven.
It's a pain to set up, but most
I don't disagree with that. G is pretty easy to build. It's just a chore downloading upto 4 different prereqs from 4 different locations. But I see your point reg. SDK.
Thanx

Well, but seeing how these tools are only required if you actually
want to work with the Geronimo people, the requirements aren't really
that strong.
Perhaps we could make daily code drops available for those who want
the somewhat current source but can't (or won't) use CVS/SVN.
Still CVS and SVN
There was a discussion earlier on the alias on what Geronimo could or
couldn't do with the JDK and other Sun libraries. You can actually do
more than most people think, but anyway for a developer using Java
already making them download another JDK is overkill.

One thing I'd like to see working is the scm:bootstrap goal.
Assuming you have a JDK and maven installed, maven will checkout your
source and build the project. For example, this works for activeIO:
maven scm:bootstrap -Dmaven.scm.url=scm:svn:https://svn.codehaus.org/
