+<h2>Source Code</h2>
-<H2>http</H2>
+<p>You can grab the latest source code tar file, its gpg signature, and other
+related files in a variety of ways:
<ul>
-<li>The source code is available <A HREF="/ftp/rsync/">here</A>
-<!-- <li>Binaries for a number of platforms are available
-<A HREF="/ftp/rsync/binaries/">here</A> -->
-</ul>
+<li><p>via <a href="/ftp/rsync/">http</a> (the standard web-browser protocol)
-<H2>ftp</H2>
+<li><p>via <a href="ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/rsync/">ftp</a> (file-transfer protocol)
-<ul>

+<p>Also, an unpacked copy of the latest development version can be
+<a href="/ftp/unpacked/rsync/">browsed on the web</a>, or obtained via
+<i>anonymous rsync</i> from:
+<code><small>rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/</small></code>
+
+<h2>Binaries</h2>
+
+<p>Precompiled binaries are available in most modern OS distributions, so
+you might want to first check if you can install an rsync package via your
+standard package-install tools for your OS.
+
+<p>There are also packages available from some 3rd-parties (note that we cannot
+vouch for 3rd parties, so use a source that you trust):
<ul>
-<li>The rsync ftp site is available via anonymous rsync at <em>rsync://rsync.samba.org/rsyncftp/</em>
-<li>An unpacked copy of the latest development version can be obtained
-from <em>rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/</em>
+
+<li><p><a href="http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rsync/">RPMs for Red Hat/Fedora</a> from Dag Wieers.
+
+<li><p><a href="http://itefix.no/cwrsync/">cwrsync</a> is a packaging of rsync for MS Windows.
+
+<li><p>More to come...

- The rsync development tree is publicly available by various
- methods so that you can try out the latest changes and give
- feedback to the developers.

- <b>Note:</b> Since the "head" source is a work in progress it
- may not compile, or may fail in various ways, though it's
- usually pretty good.

- Anyone may use anonymous CVS to follow development: <a

- </p>
-
- <p>You can also browse the <a

- <a href="http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/nightly/">Nightly
- snapshots of the rsync source tree</a> are also available for
- people who want to try the latest development version. If you
- want to track development, then CVS uses less bandwidth and
- can automatically merge your local changes with our version.
- However, if you just want a one-off download, or cannot use
- CVS because of firewall, network or software issues, then the
- snapshots might be helpful.

-<h2>Contributing binaries</h2>
-
-If you can build binaries for a platform that we currently don't offer
-binaries for then please let me know (via the bug tracking
-system). I'll then give you a way of uploading binaries to
-rsync.samba.org. Please only do this if you have the time to build and
-package binaries in a timely fashion for every rsync release.
