35.2 Accessing the Samba Sources via rsync and ftp


pserver.samba.org also exports unpacked copies of most parts of the CVS tree at ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked and also via anonymous rsync at rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/. I recommend using rsync rather than ftp. See the rsync homepage for more info on rsync.

The disadvantage of the unpacked trees is that they do not support automatic merging of local changes like CVS does. rsync access is most convenient for an initial install.
