Similarly, I heard some time ago, that

    rsync -auvz linuxcare.com.au::linux-pmac-devel <dest_dir>

would give me a fairly recent development (2.3.x) kernel.
Jan 14, and Feb 1, I succeeded in building a kernel (2.3.39) from that,
jippie!  But since then, I'm getting silly permission errors:

    [root at appel linux]# rsync -auvz linuxcare.com.au::linux-pmac-devel .
    Welcome to the Linuxcare Australia rsync server
