If you want current source you can either get it directly
from cvs per the instructions or with rsync
rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Martin, can we either get the nightly snapshots working
again (http://ftp.samba.org/ftp/rsync/nightly/) or get rid
of them. Those are more than a year out of date predating
the latest annointed release by about six months. This is
worse than no CVS snapshots.
ftp://rsync.samba.org/pub/rsync/cvsroot.tar.gz is even more
out of date.
