It's not the entire server: the server was cracked (surely you heard about this?) and so they took off all the content until it could be verified to be correct. The verification is complete for almost all the code, but Ben Elliston (who, according to the FSF folks I talked to, owns these particular files) has not responded to requests for help in verifying these files.

That's what I want to do. How does gnulib do this? Does it get then via CVS checkout somehow? Or, some other way?

But I want to get the official versions, wherever they are. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
