Sorry, I don't have a regular schedule for making snapshots of the
sources. In general, CVS is a possibility:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=36234
But also I've just made a snapshot:

Thanks very much for the CVS snapshot of latest gretl Professor
Cottrell. And I must say compiling is really fun. In the last few days
I was able to run the latest versions of Lyx and Kile by means of
compiling. This saves me from using outdated packages (somehow) in the
dapper repos. There was a problem with compiling the gretl CVS file
though. During the make process, I got an error about two missing
files. I don't know why this happened but can it be something to do
with the snapshot? Because the official version compiles without any
problems. Here is the error message I get:
