Hi,
Replies inline.

Having cloned 8.0 and running ./bin/develop for the first time, the build unfortuately fails.
I don't know whether your comprehensive install process is intended to solve *every* dependency,
You are too kind! It is not, and the list of missing ingredients varies by platform.
but when ./bin/develop
started to build libsasl it failed on a missing kerberos library.
This is expected. I started an Admin Guide that has only one section so far, so isn't yet linked from anywhere, but does contain build dependency info:
...
Your build system continues to build Postgresql inspite of an Ubuntu installation, but I have not investigated why. It may be due to Ubuntu's
installation being in /usr/lib/postgresql.
For Postgres, we are less strict about accepting an installed version than we should be; we only check for the presence of the "postgres" command in the current $PATH:
http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/trunk/bin/_build.sh#L602
On the other hand, I don't believe we have intentionally used any "new" Postgres features, and I don't recall anyone ever reporting that an existing Postgres was insufficient.
Look elsewhere in the above file to see what we do for other C based dependencies.
It may be that the SVN error would also occur if your build system built libsasl . I've not investigated this.
It would be very easy for your test department to reproduce these steps on a VirtualBox instance.
I think the secretly documented steps should work.
Ha ha! Your QuickStart document didn't turn out to be quick!
Building CalendarServer on != OS X is an achievement. I should make a little digital award...
Cheers,
