AFAICT the full source (as in SVN trunk) is not actually present in the distribution directory. For example, where are the top-level files in SVN (BUILDING, README) ? And the etc/ directory? If I wanted to build any or all of the components, there does not appear to be a way to do this from the files in the distribution. > There might be different set-up then a lot of other projects have it > but we release our stuff on a per artifact basis how it is done by for > example Apache Felix as well and never has been an issue (and didn't > become unmanageably either - also ymmv).
