Description
SVN checkout is slow, and even more so on Haiku (not sure whether due to disk or network performance issues).
Providing a recent source tarball as a starting point for "svn update" would be very helpful.
Note that this had been fixed once (#20), but the link there no longer works and there is no indication of any alternative on the site.

I should also mention that the hidden .svn directories contain another full duplicate of the code that was checked out, so a zip containing all the sources in a way that is svn update-able would be twice the size of just downloading the code using svn checkout (which does also compress the data as it's sent)

Closing this as invalid, as no one has expressed interest in close to a full year.
As far as I can tell, it would have to be more than just source in the tarball - it would also need to contain the hidden .svn directories which are somewhat configuration-dependent.
For example, newer svn clients create these directories in a way that is not compatible with older clients.
I guess someone would have to create an anonymous checkout on a Haiku box and zip it up.
Also, the tarballs referenced in #20 and provided on berlios were not svn update-able.
The URL is wrong there, it should have been ftp: ftp://download.berlios.de/pub/haiku/snapshots/
