How can I get HEAD tarballs? Or should I checkout from cvs? Is there a note
about how to perform this?


Oh BTW, it seems that FC3's mc-4.6.1-0.12.FC3 is based on 4.6.1-pre3 as I
could see here: http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/118166 and on many
places reported by google. So the difference is the patches applied for this
FC3 build? Isn't it the minimal diff that you were asking for?
