Very funny...,
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm
still points to:
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/acpica-unix-20050624.tar.gz

Is there another site to download latest changes?
An official read-only CVS (with mail notification on changes or similar) would really be appreciated.
