Thanks, but I really wanted to go a step farther than that if I'm going 
to automate it.

So, here's the scoop...

Each Sunday morning at 2am, I completely remove my copy and 
grab a fresh copy of the entire CVS repository from SourceForge.

Every morning at 3am, I get a refresh. After each refresh, I create 
two files, one gzip and one bzip.

I keep both files for three days, so after we get rolling, there should 
always be 6 files in the directory.

You can reach these CVS files at:

ftp://ftp.linuxceptional.com/mailman

Today, there is:

ftp://ftp.linuxceptional.com/mailman/mailman-dev-001022.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.linuxceptional.com/mailman/mailman-dev-001022.tar.bz2

You may include this location in your documentation. I'll leave it 
running for the foreseeable future.

Enjoy!
