Hi, In the How To Contribute doc, it says:
"Try getting the project to build and test locally before writing code...." So, just to be 100% certain before I keep troubleshooting things, this means I should be able to run mvn clean install -Pdist -Dtar without getting any failures or errors at all...none...zero, right? I am surprised at how long this is taking as errors keep cropping up. Should I just expect it to really take many hours (already at 10+) to work through these issues? I am setting up a dev environment on an Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit desktop from the AWS marketplace running on EC2. It would seem it's an obvious YES answer, but given the time investment I've been making I just wanted to be absolutely sure before continuing. I thought it possible that maybe some errors, depending on their nature, can be overlooked, and that other developers may be doing that in practice. And hence perhaps I should as well to save time. Yes or No?? Thank you, Martin
