source download

I've tried to find the right place to download sources.  It looks like
the only available place is from the Automated Snapshots.  It looks like
the tarball snapshots are updated every 6 hours as advertised, but the
contents are not.  For example, from the CVS notices
/jakarta-tomcat/src/share/org/apache/tomcat/core/Container.java should
be at -r1.5, but the Nov 8 snapshot I have is only at -r1.1.

Where are you all getting the latest sources from?

In the jakarta-tomcat tarball, nearly all the source code files are dated
November 1.  It also appears that this tarball contains nested
jakarta-tomcat, jakarta-tools, and jakarta-watchdog trees.

Those of us allowed to commit are using CVS with read/write access.  If you
want to be able to check out up-to-the-second source code at any time, the
best thing to do is use the "anonymous CVS" access method, as described on
the site (http://jakarta.apache.org/getinvolved/cvsindex.html).  You will
need a CVS client, of which there are several available.

I'll take a look at the automated snapshots -- the best way to get up to the
date source is to check it out via anon ftp (instructions on the site).
