I'm not sure about the CD, but if you want bleeding edge (or any release
you care), you could checkout over the net from our source-code
repository..

git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git

There is a toplevel makefile which you can use to build all of gEDA
(much faster than having to ./configure and make each of the 8-10 or so
subdirs worth of release tarballs.)

If you aren't developing (for which you'd want to ask git to make a
branch), you can just checkout a particular release:

e.g.

cd gaf
git checkout 1.2.0-20070902 

(or "git checkout master" to get back onto the local branch created
during checkout).

"git fetch" will retrieve code-changes from the server, and "git pull"
from your master branch should merge them into anything you've
committed. (Actually, it will probably do the fetch for you too).

Best wishes,
