Its not, its updated on a regular basis, ie, whenever major updates are done, or whenever Peter feels like it, which probably amounts to 1-3 times a week at a guess. > > I still fail to understand why > > a Linux user would use anything but CVS given the reduction in file > > download time, and the exacting instructions on docs.scribus.net. > > Well, in my case, I have currently to use Windows for Internet since I > had to remove the ISDN card from my PC after a hardware update and use > the device of the phone company instead - with no Linux drivers in > sight.

The tarballs are of course for those who have trouble to get the CVS working, but under a pure linux situation I cant see there being any major drama. I would think however that there must be a fairly simple operation to get the files from CVS as you describe. dos2unix or other apps dont help?
