You have the source tarball w/no CVS/ directories. To fix your bug, you have to do these SAME exact steps. I see ZERO difference. You imply that maybe RE's fixed some bug in only the code for the CD and not in the CVS tree. Maybe you don't know that only pieces of bits that are CVS will be in the src tarball. Thus just like any snapshot CD source, you have to figure out if someone in has backed out a change in the CVS repo, etc.. Again, NO change from the past. Geez people. It was nice in the past when the snapshot CD's were done by a private company where none of us got to see how it was produced. Now that the process is more open, people want to try to railroad the effort. And people wonder why many companies and organization have real concerns about opening up source bases and procedures....
