M,

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/cvs <== Bad!

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/ <== Good!?

 The source trees of all of these are available through <A HREF="../tools/index.html">CVS</A> but we also make available nightly snapshots from <A HREF="ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/cvs/">here</A>.  It is best to get a snapshot the first time you want to build a tree and update from CVS from then on. <BR>
