No, you can have pre-built binary RPMs of current CVS, just like you can
of any release. There's nothing magical about CVS snapshots. In fact, I
recommend you install those pre-built RPMs of CVS snapshots from Axel's
repo before you try building your own. It'll help get you a feel for it.

Ah, that is Axel's repo. ;) at-bleeding in fact. Sounds like you're
using Axel's repo manually rather than via apt. In which case I'd get
apt & synaptic installed soon, makes life much easier.

You'll find exactly the same source rpm's from axel's web site you
included above - you just need to scroll the page to see the source
rpms, which all end .src.rpm.

Cheers,

Martin.
