CVS is the current code, something between version 1.3.3.7 and the forthcoming 1.3.3.8. A CVS snapshot is unreleased code. The .tar.bz file is the source for version 1.3.3.7. The .src.rpm file is the same source as above, but packaged so that on machine with a full development enviroment installed a binary rpm file can be generated automatically: rpm --rebuild scribus-1.3.3.7-suse.3.1.src.rpm would generate scribus-1.3.3.7-suse.3.1.rpm > 3) Can the Suse rpm file be used on a Fedora system?
